Ingredient substitutions

Celeriac

Firm celeriac: Use another firm, heavy celeriac root of the same trimmed weight.

Corn

Canned corn: Drain very well so the salad stays creamy rather than watery.

Yellow cheese

Semi-hard yellow cheese: Choose a sliceable yellow cheese with a mild to sharp taste.

Apple

Firm apple: Use a crisp apple so it keeps texture after chilling.

Dill

Fresh dill: Use tender fronds and chop them just before garnishing.

Salt

Fine salt: Add gradually because cheese and mayonnaise already bring savoriness.
