Pomegranate Celeriac Salad (Low FODMAP, SCD, Vegan)

November 11, 2017 By Riley Leave a Comment

Does anyone else get really excited seeing Thanksgiving recipes pass through their social media feed?  Especially when they are creative, low FODMAP Thanksgiving creations?  I sure do!

I have fond memories of Thanksgiving.  My mom has always gone all out- taking a few days off work to prep for the feast and deliver an impressive array of comforting culinary magic.

Low FODMAP Celeriac Salad

As a nutritionist and personal chef, I am a bit embarrassed to admit that I’ve never made turkey, stuffing, or gravy.  Oh my…I said it!  But I have never been the Thanksgiving host, so there has not been much opportunity to get creative.

But now that I have an audience (you!) who is hungry for low FODMAP Thanksgiving options that won’t flare symptoms, I’ve got the recipe development inspiration I needed!

Celeriac (aka Celery Root)

As the name implies, celery root is the root of the long, crunchy, green vegetable, celery.  Unlike celery which becomes high in the FODMAP category polyols at a serving size of 1/2 stalk, celery root is low FODMAP at all serving sizes measured [1]!

Celery root is a gnarly looking root with tan skin and an off-white inside.  It has a texture similar to a sweet potato, but a little less firm.

It used to be challenging to find celery root in grocery stores, but it seems to be much more available in health food stores nowadays.  I know this because one of our classic family dishes for Thanksgiving is celery root salad courtesy of my German grandmother.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to re-create a low FODMAP version of my grandmother’s German Celeriac Salad since it relies heavily on onion for flavor.  But my Pomegranate Celeriac Salad is a refreshing way to use this delicious & nutritious vegetable.  This recipe was inspired by a recipe over on Fragrant Vanilla Cake!

Since the low FODMAP diet restricts so many different vegetables, I am eager to have clients include as many veggies as possible of those that are permitted on the diet.  Research is increasingly showing that a diverse diet rich in vegetables is important for promoting diversity of the gut microbiome and subsequent positive health benefits.

Celeriac Nutrition Facts

Celeriac is packed with a variety of nutrients.  In 1 cup of this veggie, you get the following [calculated based on references 2 & 3]:

  • 12.5 mg vitamin c = 21% DV
  • 179 mg phosphorous = 18% DV
  • 468 mg potassium = 13% DV
  • 0.257 mg vitamin B6 = 13% DV
  • 2.8 g fiber = 11% DV
  • 31 mg magnesium = 8% DV
  • 64 mcg vitamin K = 8% DV
  • 67 mg calcium = 7% DV
  • 1.09 mg iron = 6% DV
  • 0.078 mg vitamin B1 = 5% DV
  • 0.094 mg vitamin B2 = 5% DV
  • 1.092 mg vitamin B3 = 5% DV
  • 0.51 mg zinc = 3% DV
  • 12 mcg folate = 3% DV

DV = daily value = based primarily on the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) = you should try to get at least this much!

If you find ones that are fully green and firm, throw them in the fridge to stop the ripening (or peel and slice to keep in the freezer for longer). When ready to eat: peel, slice, and steam for a starchy side for chili, soups, and more. They’re rich in resistant starch, which helps promote a healthy gut microbiome. Ripe bananas (yellow with brown spots) give me acne and make me more congested, but not these 🎉 Gimme all that potassium, magnesium, B6, and resistant starch. Have you tried steamed green bananas?
