The Celeriac Salad give today is rich in flavor and texture, given by the combination of raw and cooked ingredients that create a complex dish, a mix of sweet and savory, savory, refreshing, and crunchy absolutely delicious!Il Sedano Rapa non è la verdura dall'aspetto più attraente, ma il suo sapore è sorprendentemente un mix intenso di dolce e nocciolato allo stesso tempo. L'arrostitura esalta tutta la complessità della rapa che per questa insalata di fine estate viene combina alla mela, noci leggermente tostate, foglioline di menta rinfrescante e rucola. Un piacevole consiglio e' l'aggiunta di qualche goccia di miele che insieme all'olio extra vergine di oliva si sposa magicamente con le scaglie del sedano rapa.
