Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (approximately 1 pound) celeriac (celery root)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the celeriac (celery root) using a sharp knife to remove the rough outer skin. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
Grate the celeriac using a coarse grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Immediately toss the grated celeriac with the lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning and add a bright tangy flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the grated celeriac and mix well until the celeriac is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and gently toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a crisp, fresh taste.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve as a side dish or appetizer.
