Celery root and carrot salad with Korean dressing
Now, with an understanding of all the invaluable qualities of carrots and celery root, let's start preparing the salad.
We will need:
- 2-3 pieces of carrots
- 1/4 head of celery root
- green onions
- dill
- handful of walnuts
Peel the carrots and celery and grate them.
Wash green onions and dill and chop finely.
Grind the nuts with your hands so that there are pieces (I like it better this way.
But you can chop it with a knife, that’s good too)
Mix grated carrots and celery in a salad bowl. And mash them a little with your hands.
Add green onions, dill, walnuts.
For Korean dressing:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cilantro (coriander)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Mix all ingredients. From this amount you will get a filling, of course, more than once. The remainder can be stored in the refrigerator for the next salad.
Step 1: Prepare the celery root.
Wash the celery root to remove soil and other dirt, place it on a cutting board and cut off the thick top skin with a regular knife. Divide the remaining white pulp into several parts, for convenience, and then grind it using a coarse grater. And if you are a master at cutting vegetables into thin strips, then do not restrain yourself, chop the celery in the way that is most convenient and tastier for you.Step 2: prepare the carrots.
Carrots, just like celery root, need to be thoroughly rinsed with running water and then peeled off the skin. Grind the peeled root vegetable in the way that is most convenient for you, that is, using a grater, or, again, cutting into thin strips, just as, for example, for Korean carrots.
Step 3: Prepare the walnuts.
Place the walnuts on a cutting board and use a regular kitchen knife to cut them into small pieces.
Step 4: Mix the salad.
Place the prepared celery and carrots in a deep plate, squeeze half a lemon on them, holding the seeds with a tablespoon so that they do not get into the salad. Add walnuts and flax seeds, salt to taste and stir. Add vegetable oil last, otherwise it will interfere with the dissolution of the salt. When all the ingredients are mixed and seasoned, your wonderful vitamin salad is ready to serve.
Step 5: Serve the celery and carrot salad.
Crispy and juicy celery and carrot salad is very good as an independent dish, and because of the nuts, it is also quite filling. Therefore, I do not recommend serving it as a side dish or snack, but rather eat it for breakfast to recharge yourself with energy and good mood in the morning. And remember that how you feel greatly depends on how you look, so eat healthy and nutritious foods, especially in the spring, when our body lacks vitamins and sunlight.
Bon appetit!
Instead of vegetable oil, you can use low-fat sour cream to dress celery and carrot salad.
Of course, flax seeds are very healthy, but they can’t always be found on the shelves of our stores, so it’s better to note that you can prepare this salad without them.
Everyone loves nuts, but do not forget that they are fatty and high in calories, so you should not add more of them to the salad than indicated. I also recommend stopping using them for the entire next day.

Celery is known for its beneficial properties from top to root. Recipes for dishes made from it are very diverse: soups, stews, celery side dishes, but raw celery is considered the most useful. Celery stalk salad with carrots will be an excellent vitamin-rich dish and a side dish for meat or poultry. For the recipe and step-by-step photos of preparing petiole celery salad, we thank Sergei:
Yesterday I cooked a wonderful turkey with potatoes and mushrooms, Anyuta, and the thought flashed that it would be nice to make a salad.

How to make a delicious celery salad
Wash celery and carrots. Thinly slice the celery (across the stalks), grate the carrots or, as I do, use a Korean carrot shredder.
Finely chop the greens. Mix vegetables with herbs.
To fill, mix oil, vinegar and juice squeezed from an orange. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly. You can use a mixer or blender, but the easiest way is to put it in a small jar with a good lid and shake it well.
Mix the vegetables with the dressing and leave in the refrigerator for an hour.
We take it out, thoroughly mix the salad with celery, carrots and herbs, and decorate it to your own taste. I garnished with kiwi slices.
Wishing you bon appetit!
Celery petioles or stalks contain a lot of coarse fiber, which when consumed helps with intestinal function, water and, most importantly, beneficial microelements and essential oils. There are much more essential oils in petiole celery than in its root. Celery can slow down the aging process in the body; it is recommended for use by older people and those suffering from diabetes. But young people should also take care of their health and include fresh celery in their diet. Because this green doctor normalizes the metabolic process, enhances sexual function, and helps in the treatment of nervous disorders and fatigue. In medicine, celery is used to make products for the treatment of liver diseases, the prevention of atherosclerosis, obesity, wound healing and painkillers. And during the period of vitamin deficiencies, celery helps support the immune system.
