Creamy Celeriac and Apple Slaw

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Appetizers Salads
A lighter cousin of the classic Waldorf salad. The earthy, distinct flavor of celeriac root is tamed by the acidity of apple and the creaminess of yogurt. This salad is all about freshness and crunch: the raw vegetable fibers remain intact, while walnuts add extra texture.

Instructions

1 ✓

Grate the peeled celeriac on a coarse grater or cut into very thin matchsticks. Immediately toss with half of the lemon juice.

Tip: The Vitamin C in lemon juice acts as an antioxidant and prevents the celeriac from browning.
2 ✓

Wash the apple (you can leave the skin on for color) and cut into similar strips as the celeriac. Toss this with a little lemon juice as well.

Tip: Apple skin contains pectin and flavor; it's a shame to peel it if the surface is nice.
3 ✓

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for a few minutes until fragrant, then chop coarsely.

Tip: Heat brings the oils in the walnuts to the surface, making the flavor much more intense.
4 ✓

Whisk the dressing: yogurt, mustard, honey, salt, pepper, and the remaining lemon juice.

Tip: The piquant flavor of mustard pairs wonderfully with the earthy nature of celeriac.
5 ✓

In a bowl, toss the celeriac, apple, and dressing together. Let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Tip: During resting, the celeriac fibers soften slightly from the acid and salt but remain crunchy.
6 ✓

Before serving, sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and chopped parsley.

Tip: Add the nuts only at the end so they don't absorb moisture and stay crunchy.

Recipe FAQ

Why does celeriac turn brown?
The cut surface oxidizes when exposed to air. The acidity of lemon juice prevents this process.
Which apple should I choose?
A tart, firm variety (like Granny Smith) works best to balance the honey dressing.
