This recipe was demonstrated at our March, 2016 meeting “Be Rooted”, Kim showed us how to make a homemade mayo in a blender to use to make a healthy creamy potato salad that is perfect for any BBQ this summer. As an even healthier twist we add celery root, which is very similar in texture and flavor to potatoes. Your kids or guests will not even notice! Watch the demonstration on our YouTube channel to see how to prepare the salad and get some tip and tricks for the recipe. Subscribe for more videos of our meetings!
Celery Root and Potato Salad
This is an updated take on a classic creamy potato salad recipe that is healthy for you!
Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes (or other waxy potatoes, or a combination of potatoes & celery root)
- 2 hard boiled eggs
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1½ tablespoons finely diced pickles
- ½ cup mayonnaise (see below recipe)
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 2-3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 4 green onions, white and green parts only, sliced
- Sea salt, for salting the cooking water
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes and celery root. Place them whole in a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-17 minutes (depending on the size). When you can easily pierce a butter knife or fork more than halfway through, your potatoes and celery root are ready.
- If your eggs are not cooked, you can add them with the potatoes (cook about 12 minutes).
- Set aside the eggs and potatoes until they are cool enough to handle. While potatoes are cooling, whisk the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
- Cut the potatoes, preferably leaving the skins on, into bite sized chunks (about ¾ inch). Place in a large bowl.
- Grate the eggs on the large holes of a box grater and gently fold them into the mayo mixture. Transfer the mayo mixture to the bowl with the potatoes and mix until the potatoes are well-coated.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
