Curried celery root and apple salad

This salad has a slightly sweet edge derived from the apple and currants. It goes well with cold grilled chicken, roast leg of lamb and baked ham. Celery root is a very firm vegetable; the shredding disk of the food processor does the best job of shredding it.

4 to 6 side dish serving

Dressing
- ½ cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of each: water, fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder (preferably Madras)

Salad
- 1 large celery root, peeled, shredded, about 2 cups
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored, shredded, about 2 cups
- ½ cup dried currants

For the dressing, put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl, whisk until combined.
For the salad, put the ingredients into the bowl with the dressing.
Toss well to coat the salad with the dressing.
The salad can be made two days ahead and refrigerated, covered airtight.
