Smoked salmon, fresh pear and celeriac salad

This awesome salad, is easy to mash together and they all go hand in hand with eachother. The crunchy pear and distinct celeriac taste (which tastes like a potato and celery but minus the starch and Carb factor) go really well with soft smoked salmon and traditional dill.

Ingredients:
  • Half a bulb of celeriac
  • 1 pear
  • Smoked salmon
  • Mayonaisse
  • Fresh Dill
  • Spinach leaves
Method:
  • Peel the celeriac and cut long thin strips. Throw into a mixing bowl.
  • Dice pear and add to bowl.
  • Cut some of the salmon and mix in, reserve the rest for the top
  • Mix the dill, spinach and mayo in as well.
  • Throw into a bowl and munch. 

For a bit more fanciness add some ocean trout pearls, which are large orange caviar fish eggs, they're not too expensive and can be bought at some select food stores like Thomas Dux or Simon Johnson.

Researching has brought me to the discovery that celeriac is a awesome substitute for potatoes, use it for mashes, soups and sauces. Celeriac also goes really well any seafood.

More to follow soon.
Bye for now.
