Shaved Winter Vegetable Salad

A mandoline or julienne slicer is essential to making the thinnest slices of raw vegetables for this throw-together salad. An inexpensive model will do, but don’t forget to use the safety guard or cut-resistant glove!

1
Stir the minced shallot and vinegar together in a large bowl and let sit while you cut the vegetables.
2
Shave the carrot and half the celery root bulb into paper-thin strips with the small julienne blade of a mandoline or slicer.
3
Slice the turnips and sunchokes into paper-thin rounds with the flat blade of the mandoline or slicer. (Alternatively, you can slice all the root vegetables by hand with a sharp knife, but it will take much longer.)
4
Whisk the Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, and kosher salt into the reserved shallot and vinegar to make a salad dressing.
5
Toss the shaved vegetables and dressing together and serve in romaine leaves or as a salad
6
(The dressing can be prepared and the vegetables cut a day before serving; store the vegetables submerged in cold water overnight, then drain and dry in a salad spinner before tossing with the dressing.)
