Ingredients

    Salad: 

    • 1 cup (250 milliliters) julienned peeled carrot
    • 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) finely diced celery
    • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) dried cranberries
    • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) raisins
    • 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
    • 2 cups (475 milliliters) diced apples, skin on (preferably Granny Smith)
    • 2 cups (475 milliliters) julienned peeled celeriac

    Honey Vinaigrette:

    • 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) rice vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) liquid honey
    • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) table salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) chili paste
    • 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) Dijon mustard

    Directions

    • In a salad bowl, combine the carrot, celery, cranberries and raisins. Sprinkle lemon juice on the apples and celeriac to keep them from browning, and add them to the mix.
    • In a small bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the oil, vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, chili paste and mustard.
    • Pour vinaigrette over the salad and toss. Let marinate for at least one hour before serving. Taste and adjust flavor with honey and salt, draining off excess vinaigrette if needed.More from: Cooking with the Wolfman: Indigenous Fusion• Cooking Salt Alternative RecipeEasy Deer Meat Lasagna RecipeScalloped Rutabaga RecipeGluten-Free Potato and Corn Bread Recipe
