Apple-Celeriac Salad with Honey-Mustard Dressing

Adapted from seasonalchef.com

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons coarse mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 shallot, chopped
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ cup canola oil
• 1 celeriac root
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 apples, grated or finely julienned
• 1 cup radish, thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup plain nonfat yogurt
• ¼ cup red onion, finely diced (optional)
• 2 cups spinach or greens of choice, finely chopped (optional)

PREPARATION

1. Place the vinegar, mustard, honey, shallots, and pepper into a blender or food processor and process on high speed until well mixed. With the blender still running, slowly pour in the oil to form an emulsion.
2. Trim and wash the celeriac. Cut into a fine julienne and place in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and toss. Mix in the apples, onions, radishes, yogurt and dressing.
3. Serve on a bed of spinach or other greens of choice.

Serves 3–4. Prep time, 15–20 minutes.

Cook’s note: A food processor with a julienne blade comes in very handy for the celeriac.
