Carrot and celery root salad with frisée, parsley and lemon-Dijon vinaigrette

Recipe Overview

A bright, crunchy vegetarian salad built around fine julienne technique. Sweet carrots and earthy celery root are balanced with fresh lemon, Dijon mustard and extra-virgin olive oil, then finished with parsley and frisée for lift and texture.

Technique & Texture

Uniform fine julienne is the key production standard. The vegetable strands should remain crisp and distinct while the vinaigrette lightly coats them rather than weighing them down.

Service Style

Serve as a composed vegetarian first course, a garnish for a light lunch plate, or a fresh acidic counterpoint to richer menu items.

Ingredients

Base recipe = 4 servings. Minimum production = 4 servings.

Preparation

Operational timing: 20 active prep min · 0 passive min · 0 cook min · 5 plating min · 5 cleanup min.
  1. Wash and peel the carrots and celery root; julienne finely with a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. In a blender, emulsify lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper; drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil to taste.
  3. Toss the julienned vegetables with the dressing and chopped parsley; adjust seasoning.
  4. Plate and garnish with baby frisée; drizzle a little extra dressing before serving.

Chef Notes

Cut the carrots and celeriac to the same thickness so the salad eats evenly. Dress close to service for maximum crunch. Celery root oxidizes after cutting, so the lemon-based vinaigrette should contact it promptly.

Service Suggestions

  • Serve chilled but not ice-cold.
  • Use a small nest of frisée for height and bitterness.
  • Finish with fresh parsley and cracked black pepper.
  • Pair with crisp, mineral white wine.
