Raw Shaved Fennel, Celery Root And Apple Salad With Buttermilk Dressing
- 1 medium head of fennel
- 1 apple
- 1/2 medium celery root
- Squeeze of lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup plain non-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, OR hazelnuts
- 1 bunch watercress
- Using a tabletop, small mandolin, slice the fennel, celery root and apple into very thin slices. I set mine on the thinnest setting. It's important that they be thin since it's a raw salad. Place in a medium bowl, sprinkle on a little lemon juice to keep from turning brown, and toss. Set aside while you make the dressing.
- Mince the clove of garlic as finely as possible, almost to a paste. Place in a small bowl. Add the yogurt, buttermilk, vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard, and whisk together.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and add to the fennel / celery root / apple mixture and toss. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and ideally overnight to allow the flavors to seep into the vegetables.
- Just before serving, add the watercress and toss again.Top with pine nuts, pumpkin seeds or hazelnuts.
