Carrot Salad with Honey-Lemon Dressing

From EatingWell: September/October 2009

Here we combine carrots and celery root (also known as celeriac) in a quick shredded slaw. Try it as a change from an ordinary mixed green salad.

READER'S COMMENT:

"This was very good and my husband loved it! I didn't have celaric root so I chopped up regular celery and it was crisp, crunchy and sweet yet tangy. A real light treat! "
