A salad with celery root and chicken may even seem exotic to some, since we add one of its ingredients to soups at best. Which one? Celery, of course! Moreover, "tops", that is, its green stems, are used for salads quite often, but the "roots" are somehow ignored. And very in vain, because they have a pleasant, sweetish taste and rich aroma. Try, for example, once, to make a puree of celery root and potatoes (in a ratio of 1: 1), and you will be simply fascinated. Well, you can start your acquaintance with this root crop just from our salad. Tender chicken, pickles, spicy celery... Hearty, fragrant, very tasty!
