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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the celeriac (celery root) using a sharp knife to remove the rough outer skin. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.

Step 2

Grate the celeriac using a coarse grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.

Step 3

Immediately toss the grated celeriac with the lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning and add a bright tangy flavor.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the grated celeriac and mix well until the celeriac is evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately for a crisp, fresh taste.

Step 9

Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve as a side dish or appetizer.
