Pritikin Celery Root Salad

This hearty, crunchy and French-styled Celery Root Salad is one of the earliest recipes developed for the Pritikin health plan, and has been served since the 1970s. Traditionally, this salad is served with a creamy and fatty remoulade sauce, but Pritikin substitutes a bit of yogurt with favorable results.

A crunchy, creamy French-inspired salad recipe

Ingredients

• ▢ 2 cups celeriac (celery root) (steamed and cut into julienned strips)
• ▢ ½ cup scallions (chopped)
• ▢ ½ cup parsley (chopped)
• ▢ ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (salt free)
• ▢ 1 ounce Greek yogurt (plain, fat free)
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning (salt free)
• ▢ 2-3 grinds fresh pepper

Optional Mix Ins

• ▢ 1 cup artichoke hearts (no oil, jarred or canned)
• ▢ 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
• ▢ 1 cup carrots (julienned)

Instructions

• Steam the celery root (or microwave, or use your pressure cooker) to soften, but not cook through, the celery root. Soften it enough to be able to peel the peel / hide. Cut away gnarly bits, and julienne the root into strips.
• Combine celery root, other veggie mix-ins, scallions, parsley, in a large bowl.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and yogurt. Add this creamy dressing onto the veggies, and toss to mix. Sprinkle lightly with Italian seasoning (or other no-sodium blend of your choice) and fresh ground pepper.
• Refrigerate for several hours to blend the flavors.
