This light salad is perfect for garden parties or any kind of entertaining for that matter.

Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 head celeriac, trimmed, peeled, sliced into shards
2 pears, thinly sliced lengthways
1/2 cup (60g) shaved gruyere
1 head witlof (Belgian endive), leaves separated
1 cup firmly packed picked watercress sprigs

Champagne vinegar dressing

1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs champagne vinegar (from delis – substitute white wine vinegar)
1 garlic clove, bruised

Method

1.

For the dressing, place all ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake until combined. Set aside.
2.

Add lemon juice to a bowl of cold water, adding celeriac and pear as you peel and slice to prevent discolouring.
3.

When ready to serve, working quickly, drain and pat dry celeriac and pear with paper towel. Place in a bowl with gruyere, witlof and watercress. Drizzle with dressing, discarding garlic, and toss. Spread onto a serving platter and serve immediately.
