Lovely — tested throughout while we were making it, and added much more orange juice and zest — I happened to have blood oranges on hand and enjoyed the varied, dark colors. 1.5 oranges of juice and zest from 2. Left out the scallions, because after I added some toasted walnuts and the mint it tasted just perfect... Served as a starter for a dinner of lentils and duck confit, loved the contrast in text and flavor.
A nice change from regular coleslaw or pickleback slaw. I added celery seeds because I find celery root to be a subtle flavor, or maybe I just end up buying ones with out much flavor. You may need more citrus juice. I found that the grated celery root soaked up most of the juice while I was cutting the apples.
