Celeriac Mango and Guava Salad is a vibrant, tropical-inspired dish combining the crunch of raw celeriac with the sweetness of ripe mango and guava. Tossed in a tangy lime dressing and topped with fresh herbs, it’s a refreshing, nutrient-packed salad perfect for summer meals or as a colorful side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 small celeriac (celery root), peeled and julienned
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed or sliced
  • 1 ripe guava, peeled and cubed or sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro or mint, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: chili flakes or thinly sliced red chili for heat

Instructions

  1. Julienne or shred the peeled celeriac using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  2. Peel and slice the mango and guava into strips or cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix celeriac, mango, and guava.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, honey or maple syrup (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
  6. Garnish with cilantro or mint and chili flakes if using.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes before serving for extra crispness.

Notes

  • Use pink guava for visual appeal and a sweeter flavor.
  • For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Lime juice helps prevent the fruit from browning—toss immediately after cutting.
  • Add chopped nuts or avocado for extra richness and texture.
