All you really need are the right seasonings and oils. Let’s make some light and zesty, Carrot Celeriac Spiralized Salad!

Hey friends! I am excited to reshare this Carrot Celeriac Spiralized Salad recipe and include new photos and a NEW video! Heck I even talk about the health perks in the video. Hope you enjoy it, it’s perfect for Spring or Summer. Thank you for following Cotter Crunch Y’all!.

I have this place in my heart for ugly produce. I really do. Remember my love for rutabagas? It’s like, the uglier the fruit or vegetable the more I want to take it and make it into a Swan of a dish. But here’s the thing. Often these ugly duckling of a produce have so much nourishment inside. It’s what’s inside that counts, right? Hehe. Is that too corny or what?

Take this Carrot Celeriac Spiralized Vegetable Salad. It looks so pretty, healthy, and tasty, right? Please say yes.

But this spiralized salad did not start off looking like this.

Celeriac (also known as Celery Root) actually looks like this (below). GASP!

It’s like I pulled a misshaped turnip out of the grown and the sliced off his green mohawk (aka the “celery” stem). Oh poor celery root. I mean celeriac. Not only is it ugly, but it’s name sounds like a disease. But it actuality, this vegetable can help cure disease! How about that for awesomness?!

Let’s discuss!

Fact! Celeriac has a taste that is similar to a blend of celery and parsley. Plus it contains some pretty SUPER root vegetable nutrients.

Health benefits of eating Celeriac (celery root):

First of all, it’s pretty low in calories and carbs. So it’s a great replacement for those looking to lighten up or “spring clean” their meals. It can be used as a mash, in soup, and of course… SPIRALIZED SALAD! Which is more fun anyway.
Second, celeriac contains a good amount of Vitamin K. Which is vital for our bone health! Vitamin K improves bone mineralization by promoting bone BOOSTING fighting activity (all within the bones).
Third, it contains some pretty crucial ESSENTIAL minerals that helps boost our immunity and energy. Essential minerals such as phosphorus, iron, calcium, copper, and manganese.
And fourth (and the reason I love it), celeriac is said to have calming, antiseptic, and other therapeutic properties. Especially in regards to the digestive system. So those that suffer from digestive disorders, IBS, indigestion, etc. This just might be THE HEALING vegetable you’ll want to ADD to diet ASAP. Ahhh… bliss!

Description

A Vegan and Paleo friendly spiralized salad tossed in a light olive oil mustard dressing. SEE NOTES for options if you don’t have a spiralizer.

Ingredients

2 large carrots (peeled)
1 medium celery root/celeriac bulb (peeled) – See notes for alternative vegetables
2 tbsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)
1 tsp honey or agave nectar (maple syrup is fine too. It’s just for a sweetener) – omit for whole 30
1/2 of a lime (juiced)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 tbsp or more or roasted pumpkin seeds
2-3 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

First clean your vegetables. Cut off the tops to both carrot and the celeriac.
Peel with a peeler.
Place in spiralizer and spiral all your vegetables. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can just use a grater or julienne cut.
Place noodles in bowl and add in all your ingredients minus the parsley and seeds.
Toss the noodles with the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
Once it’s marinated in fridge, remove and add your parsley and pumpkin seeds.
Serve immediately or keep in fridge for later.

Notes

Don’t have spiralizer? Simply julienne cut the vegetables.

Don’t have celeriac available? No problem! Try turnips, Jicama, or Daikon radish.

We love making this salad alongside roasted chicken or baked chicken. It’s a perfect potluck side or side dish for Easter…. just sayin.

That being said, but you can easily eat this as it. Although, you’re gonna want to go back for seconds or thirds, so you better make that a double celeriac salad. Just sayin….

This salad literally takes 10 minutes to make with no cooking required. YAY! It’s also paleo, whole30 approved, vegan, yada yada yada. ..

But most importantly… it’s FLIPPING GOOD!

So here’s my challenge to you. Go get yourself an ugly celeriac (celery root) and trying making something with it. Actually, start off with making this easy peasy carrot and celeriac spiralized salad, then progress from there. Keep me posted, mmm k?

Here’s the spiralizer I use. It has 3 blades and I ADORE IT!

Ever tried Celeriac? Or spiralizing something other than zucchini?

Cheers,
