    Are you looking for some celery root recipes? This one is super easy and delicious! Shred celery root, carrots, and broccoli blend with an avocado dressing for a delightful lunch salad or dinner side.

    This recipe was inspired by my Friseé & Citrus Salad which is also topped with an avocado dressing, and pairs well with this Quinoa Black Bean Burger Recipe.

    Ingredients

    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.

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    1. Use a food processor with the shredding blade attached to prep the slaw ingredients.
