Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large celeriac (celery root)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup toasted almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the celeriac using a sharp knife, ensuring that all the rough and fibrous outer layers are removed.
Grate the celeriac using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding disc. Place the grated celeriac in a large bowl.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the grated celeriac and toss to prevent discoloration.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the grated celeriac and mix until all the pieces are coated evenly.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Roughly chop the toasted almonds and fold them into the salad, reserving a small handful for garnish.
Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the salad just before serving.
Top with the reserved toasted almonds for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately as a fresh and crunchy side dish or refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving.
