I love a good old wholesome salad as a main dish. I mostly make a salad with grains if I am to eat it alone, but this salad is extremely filling and delicious by itself too. And it’s very easy to make!

 

 

Celeriac is my favourite vegetable and I love cooking it in different ways, but I also love it raw in salads as well. In this salad, celeriac adds a beautiful smell and it certainly makes the taste richer.

 

 

 

To make this salad, you can grate the carrots and celeriac, yes. However, if you have a mandoline that has the shredding attachment, I’d definitely recommend to use that. I believe it gives a better overall texture. If not, just go with a grater and use any size of grating that suits your taste.

 

If you want to make this salad vegan, you can very easily switch to using vegan yogurt for dressing – I find Oatly’s new yogurt very suitable for this purpose. Enjoy!
