Springtime Celery Root and Apple Salad

One of our Saturday market customers, Robbie Shaw,  was nice enough to pass along this recipe for Celery Root and Apple salad.  The combination of flavors together sound wonderful and light, and it is rich in Vitamins A, B6, C, K, and E, along with being high in potassium and fiber.

Enjoy – and thank you for sharing Robbie!
