Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium celery roots peeled and coarsely grated
  • 1 cup chopped walnut
  • 1 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1 clove of garlic crushed and finely chopped.
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. salt or to taste
  • For Garnish I used olive oil, chive, paprika, and walnut

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the yogurt dressing. In a bowl, mix yogurt, mayo, garlic, lemon juice, and salt and set it aside.
  • Prepare the celery root. Peel the celery root and grate it coarsely.
  • Add grated celery root. Since the grated celery root turn brown fast, add in as you grate and mix it with the yogurt dressing and continue grating and adding the second celery root.
  • Add walnut. Add the walnut and mix it in. At this point taste and adjust the seasoning and flavor.
  • Garnish and serve it. Garnish it with olive oil, chive, paprika, and walnut. You may serve it at room temperature. But I recommend chilling it in the fridge before serving it. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • Use garlic. Although optional, a hint of garlic flavor in the celery root salad goes well with yogurt.
  • Make ahead. This is a great salad to make ahead. Simply mix everything except the salt. Add salt right before serving. This way grated celery roots stay crunchy and not mushy.
Substitutions and variations
  • Substitute yogurt. Use sour cream instead of yogurt.
  • Substitute walnut. Use any other nuts ( peanuts, almonds, pecan) or even seeds ( sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds) you like the best.
  • Add apple. Add one grated green apple to the mixture. Apple will add extra crunch, juiciness, and sweetness to the salad.
  • Add in veggies. Add diced cooked potatoes, grated fresh carrots, diced cucumber, or diced pickles.
  • Add in spices. Cumin, ginger, black pepper, or garlic/ onion powder. 
  • Add herbs. Dill, cilantro, parsley, oregano, mint, basil, or thyme.
Equipment
Use a grater to coarsely grate the celery roots. 

Storage

Store it in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the salad looked dry to you when serving it, add a tablespoon of yogurt to make it moist again.

How to serve it

Serve it on its own or as a meze/ appetizer with naans, chips, or bread. Serve it as a side dish with chicken, beef, or fish recipes.
