Note

For best texture, ensure the jicama and celery root are peeled thoroughly before grating, as their skins can be tough.

This slaw holds well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving if the dressing has settled.

You can substitute the red apple with a Granny Smith apple for a tartness that complements the yogurt dressing even more.

If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a teaspoon of water or additional lemon juice to reach your desired consistency.
