Tips
Celeriac browns fast. Peel and grate it right before you need it, and use it immediately. If there's any gap, toss it with a squeeze of lemon juice — you can even hold the grated celeriac in a bowl of cold water with lemon juice until you're ready.
Strained yogurt keeps the salad from watering down. If you're using regular homemade yogurt, drain it through a cheesecloth first. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to your taste.
Add the walnuts just before serving rather than mixing them in — they'll stay crisp and won't darken.
Chill the finished salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes; the flavors come together much better once cold.
If you like, stir in some grated green apple, a crushed garlic clove, or finely chopped dill.
