Ingredients
There are three main ingredients in the slaw – celery root, carrots, and broccoli. Avocado is needed for the creamy dressing.
Main ingredients:
- Celery root
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Broccoli stem
- Avocado
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
I’m not kidding when I say this recipe is easy to make. It will be ready to eat In just 20 minutes (maybe even less), when using a food processor.
Substitutions
You can substitute a variety of root vegetables or fruit in this recipe:
- Turnip
- Kohlrabi
- Daikon
- Beets
- Apples
- Pears
- Citrus Fruits
Experiment and see what mix you like best!
Tip: Beets will bleed color into the salad so beware if blending into the salad. If plating, you can separate the beets out or just use them as a topping.
Variations
There are numerous ways to vary the taste of the salad.
- Spicy – add chili pepper flakes or diced jalapeño peppers
- Herbs – add basil, cilantro, or dill
- Lighter – apple cider vinegar and olive oil
Equipment
It is best to make this recipe using a food processor with a shredding blade attached. If you don’t have one, it will take extra time either using a hand shredder or knife but it can be done.
Storage
This slaw salad is best eaten the day of, but you can refrigerate for one day in a well-sealed bowl. Because there is avocado in the dressing, it doesn’t hold well.
If making ahead of time, shred all of the slaw ingredients and refrigerate that for a few days. The dressing can be made at the most 24 hours earlier.
Top Tip
Don’t ever throw away broccoli stems! If you haven’t tried it yet, broccoli stems will become your favorite part of the broccoli. Just remove the stem from the crown and trim off the out layer, which is tough. You can use a vegetable peeler or a knife (my preference). Then you can slice or shred the stem to be used raw in salads or cooked in sauté.
