Ingredients
Serves 4
Beetroot (sliced) 100 g
Celeriac (sliced) 100 g
Rocket salad 100 g
Baby spinach 100 g
Parmesan cheese (shaved) 60 g
Walnuts (toasted) 30 g
Goat cheese (fresh) 80 g
Orange zest (grated) 1
Fresh parsley (chopped) 30 g
For the Lemon & Balsamic vinegar dressing:
Whisk 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil.
Method
Step 1: Wash, drain and patted dry spinach leaves and rocket salad, set aside.
Step 1: Peel the beetroot, and with the help of a Mandoline slice it very thinly, watch your fingers!
Place it on a plate and season it with the dressing, refrigerate for 4 hrs.
Step 3: Peel Celeriac and slice it as you did with the beetroot.
Step 4: Place the celeriac on a plate and season it with the dressing using half, refrigerate for 4 hours to allow the flavours to be absorbed.
Step 5: Toss the rest of the ingredients in a bowl with as much dressing as required. Cover a plate with the thinly sliced Beetroot and Cereriac so that you cannot see the plate underneath. Place the salad heaped in the centre so you can see a border of the Beet and Celeriac. Serve immediately.
