Preparation

For an attractive presentation, arrange the lettuce leaves facing upwards in a salad bowl, so that it looks like the original shape of the head of lettuce. Sprinkle the mushrooms with a little lemon juice. Grate the celery root and cut up the beet.

Slice the chicken fillets. Place the vegetable matchsticks, onion, sliced chicken and mushrooms on the lettuce leaves. Scatter over the celery root. Then add the crumbled Canadian Bénédictin cheese and the garlic-rubbed croutons. Keep in cool place until ready to serve.

For the dressing, mix together the mustard, the 35 % cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Dress salad with dressing just before serving.

Tips

* Instead of Canadian Bénédictin cheese, try this recipe with Ciel de Charlevoix cheese.
