An excellent choice for outdoor, summer entertaining. There are never any leftovers. I use a food processor to slice the beets and celery root, then cut the slices into matchsticks by hand.

I was looking for something different to serve for NYE dinner. This salad was a big hit. I don't give it 5 stars, because it does require work to get it ready, you have to plan ahead, and I think there other great recipes out there, too. It really takes 2 large beets, 2 GS apples, and 1/4 of a whole celery root. The dressing is great. Be sure to plan ahead so the fruit and vegetables can marinade.I didn't really understand "picked watercress" until my friend & I decided we needed to remove the leaves from the stems. The stems are much too spicy! After the watercress was added to the vegetables, the combination was very tasty. Most people when back for seconds. I will do this recipe again. Since I bought extra of all ingredients, I will probably make it for a party we are having this coming Saturday. I hope you will try it too. It's a refreshing change from a green leaf salad. Low in calorie, high in flavor and crunch.
