Description

This refreshing Mushroom & Celeriac Salad offers a delightful crunch and earthy flavor profile. The combination of tender button mushrooms and finely shredded celeriac creates a unique texture that is both substantial and light. Dressed with a creamy blend of Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, fresh garlic, and seasonal herbs, it provides a bright, zesty contrast to the root vegetables. Perfect as a healthy side dish for summer barbecues, a light lunch, or a starter to a larger meal, this recipe highlights simple, fresh ingredients. It is vegan-friendly if you substitute the yogurt with a plant-based alternative, making it versatile for various dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice or quarter the mushrooms and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
  2. Peel the celeriac and cut into matchstick-sized pieces or shred using a food processor.
  3. Immediately place the shredded celeriac into a bowl of water mixed with a squeeze of lemon or a spoonful of vinegar to prevent discoloration.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
  5. Drain the celeriac thoroughly and stir it into the yogurt dressing.
  6. Add the lemon-tossed mushrooms and chopped summer herbs to the bowl and mix well.
  7. Arrange the mixed lettuce leaves and watercress on two serving plates.
  8. Pile the mushroom and celeriac mixture onto the salad leaves and serve immediately.

Note

If celeriac is unavailable, finely sliced celery heart makes a delicious substitute.

This salad pairs wonderfully with warm granary bread.

For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick, unsweetened plant-based yogurt.

Serve as soon as possible after assembly to maintain the crisp texture of the vegetables.
