One of the simplest salads you will ever come across, perfect as a side dish or serve with some leaves for a healthy light lunch.
- 650g/1lb 7oz celeriac, peeled and sliced into thin matchsticks (see tip)
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 6 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ lemon, juice only
- pinch of sugar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Put the celeriac in a bowl and cover with approximately 100ml/3½fl oz cold water. Add the lemon juice. Toss well to prevent it going brown.
- Mix all the dressing ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the celeriac, toss in the dressing and leave to soften for 30 minutes before serving.
For the best results, use a mandolin to slice the celeriac into matchsticks. However, if you’re pressed for time, a food processor gives good results. Use the largest grating attachment to give a coarse grating, rather than matchsticks.
