I have this place in my heart for ugly produce. I really do. Remember my love for rutabagas? It’s like, the uglier the fruit or vegetable the more I want to take it and make it into a Swan of a dish. But here’s the thing. Often these ugly duckling of a produce have so much nourishment inside. It’s what’s inside that counts, right? Hehe.Is that too corny or what?
Take this Carrot Celeriac Spiralized Vegetable Salad. It looks so pretty, healthy, and tasty, right? Please say yes.
But this spiralized salad did not start off looking like this.
Celeriac (also known as Celery Root) actually looks like this (below). GASP!
It’s like I pulled a misshaped turnip out of the grown and the sliced off his green mohawk (aka the “celery” stem). Oh poor celery root. I mean celeriac. Not only is it ugly, but it’s name sounds like a disease. But it actuality, this vegetable can help cure disease! How about that for awesomness?!
Let’s discuss!
Fact! Celeriac has a taste that is similar to a blend of celery and parsley. Plus it contains some prettySUPER root vegetable nutrients.
Health benefits of eating Celeriac (celery root):
- First of all, it’s pretty low in calories and carbs. So it’s a great replacement for those looking to lighten up or “spring clean” their meals. It can be used as a mash, in soup, and of course… SPIRALIZED SALAD! Which is more fun anyway.
- Second, celeriac contains a good amount of Vitamin K. Which is vital for our bone health! Vitamin Kimproves bone mineralization by promoting bone BOOSTINGfighting activity (all within the bones).
- Third, it contains some pretty crucial ESSENTIAL minerals that helps boost our immunity and energy. Essential minerals such as phosphorus, iron, calcium, copper, and manganese.
- And fourth (and the reason I love it), celeriac is said to have calming, antiseptic, and other therapeutic properties. Especially in regards to the digestive system. So those that suffer from digestive disorders, IBS, indigestion, etc. This just might be THE HEALING vegetable you’ll want to ADD to diet ASAP. Ahhh… bliss!

Description
A Vegan and Paleo friendly spiralized salad tossed in a light olive oil mustard dressing. SEE NOTES for options if you don’t have a spiralizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large carrots (peeled)
- 1 medium celery root/celeriac bulb (peeled) – See notes for alternative vegetables
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or red wine vinegar)

Notes
Don’t havespiralizer?Simply julienne cut the vegetables.
Don’t have celeriac available? No problem! Try turnips, Jicama, or Daikon radish.

We love making this salad alongside roastedchickenor bakedchicken. It’s a perfect potluck side or side dish for Easter…. just sayin.
That being said, but you can easily eat this as it. Although, you’re gonna want to go back for seconds or thirds, so you better make that a double celeriac salad. Just sayin….
This salad literally takes 10 minutes to make with no cooking required. YAY! It’s also paleo, whole30 approved,vegan, yada yada yada. ..
But most importantly… it’s FLIPPING GOOD!
So here’s my challenge to you. Go get yourself an ugly celeriac (celery root) and trying making something with it. Actually, start off with making this easy peasy carrot and celeriac spiralized salad, then progress from there. Keep me posted, mmm k?
Here’s the spiralizer I use. It has 3 blades and I ADORE IT!
Ever tried Celeriac? Or spiralizing something other than zucchini?
Cheers,
