Roast Celeriac, Apple & Lentil Salad

This warm autumnal salad is a delicious way to cook and eat some of our favourite seasonal British fruit and veg. Earthy celeriac has a subtle flavour, a little like celery, and roasting it brings outs its natural sweetness. It’s a natural pair with tart Bramley apple and a classic honey mustard dressing. A base of nutty green lentils and a handful of peppery rocket round out the flavours. The salad keeps really well, so this is a great salad to prep ahead for the week.

  • 2 tsp wholegrain mustard

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/Gas 7. Use a small, sharp knife or vegetable peeler to carefully remove the thick outer skin from the celeriac. Chop into bite-sized pieces. Pick the thyme leaves off their woody stalks.
2. Tip the celeriac into a large roasting tin. Drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter over the thyme leaves. Toss to coat. Roast for 25-30 mins or till the celeriac is golden and cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, trim, peel and finely grate or slice the garlic clove. Add the garlic to a small bowl. Add the wholegrain mustard. Pour in the cider vinegar and honey. Drizzle in 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and whisk to combine.
4. When the celeriac is tender, remove from the oven. Set aside to cool a little. Quarter the apple and slice out the core. Finely slice each quarter into wafer-thin slices (if the apple is very bug, you may only need half). Add the apple slices to the celeriac in the roasting tin.
5. Drain and rinse the green lentils. Tumble the lentils into the roasting tin. Drizzle over the dressing. Stir well to coat the celeriac, lentils and apple through the dressing.
6. Divide the rocket betweem 2 plates. Scoop the warm celeriac and lentil salad on top. Scatter over the pumpkin seeds to serve.
