Calories: 285kcal

Ingredients

  • 500 g celeriac peeled and coarsely grated
  • 200 g thick-cut smoked bacon diced
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp whole-grain mustard
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp chives snipped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp caraway seeds (toasted)

Instructions

  • Grate celeriac and season with salt. Let stand 5 min, then squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Whisk both mustards and vinegar together. Season well. Toss over celeriac.
  • Fry bacon until crispy and fat is rendered. Do not drain — you need all the fat.
  • Pour hot bacon and fat directly over the celeriac salad. Toss to combine.
  • Scatter caraway and chives. Serve immediately while still warm.
