Course Side Dish

Cuisine Turkish

1 medium root celery

1 lemon

1 cup Greek yoghurt

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp salt (taste and add more salt if you need)

1 clove garlic

1/3 cups crushed walnuts

Peel and grate celery root

Put it in lemon water until sauce is ready

If you have time turn and cook grated celery in the saute pan 3-4 minutes after you drain it. This process will remove much of the moisture and will make celery root tastier and more digestible. But you can skip this step and still have a delicious salad

Combine yoghurt, mayonnaise, garlic and salt

Add celery root to the sauce

Finally add crushed walnuts

You can serve it with extra virgin olive oil and extra walnuts
