This is really refreshing to eat on hot days - and it will survive in the fridge for a couple of days too. It's a tasty side dish, quite filling and excellent for BBQs too.
And because it's not made with mayo, it's lower in calories and healthier than normal coleslaw. I find celeriac also less overpowering than cabbage.

Serves 3-4
300g celeriac
2 carrots
50g sultanas

Dressing
1tsp mustard
10g olive oil
15g white wine vinegar (to taste)
1 tsp honey (to taste)
1-2 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
70g natural yoghurt (half a small pot)

Coarsely grate/shred the celeriac (raw) and the carrots and put in a bowl with the sultanas.
Shake together the oil, vinegar, lemon, honey and mustard (taste to make sure not too sharp) and then add the yoghurt and stir it all together.
Pour the dressing over the celeriac/carrot and toss it altogether.

Thank you - that sounds lovely. I think I will try making some this week

Thank you so much for that recipe - we've just had that as a side with rib of beef & chips (today is NOT a fast day ) and it really worked well as a pallet cleanser & I didn't feel guilty about it (meant I didn't feel guilty about the chips either as the slaw was a healthy option!)

Celeriac is very expensive here but I do have 4 growing in my veggie patch so I will definitely try your recipe applespider when it comes to harvest time thanks

Excellent! I've made it a few times since when going to BBQs etc and it's gone down well - even with kids who start off by telling me they hate coleslaw. Glad you enjoyed it!

I was going to make some this week but the supermarkets near me seem to have a dearth of it... pity!

Sorry to hear that it's so pricey where you are gillymary - but most impressed that you are growing some. I think it's about £1.30 a kg here so about 60p to make a fair amount of it.
