Celeriac-Carrot salad is a dish made for breakfast or in between meal times. If you can not eat bread, then you can substitute it with red bell peppers. This dish is best consumed within 2-3 days, since homemade mayonnaise will go bad during that time.
Celeriac-Carrot Salad Ingredients
Mayonnaise: You can always choose to use store bought mayonnaise. In case you want to attempt homemade mayonnaise you need to look out for a couple of things. First, get the egg as fresh as possible. Second, pour in the oil as slowly as possible into the egg yolk or else it will split.
Dijon Mustard: It gives the mayonnaise a spicier taste and can also be added to store bought mayonnaise.
Salt: Coarse Sea salt for me personally taste the best. When mixing in coarse sea salt, be aware of the amount you put in since it needs time to dissolve and has bigger chunks of salt in it.
Celeriac: Grate your celeriac as fine as possible and squeeze out the liquid well. Add it to the mayonnaise immediately and mix it in to avoid having the celeriac turn black/brown.
Carrots: The carrots will add some slight sweetness into your salad and some crunch to it.
