Raw vegetable salad with mayonnaise
Romanian raw vegetable salad is a traditional dish made from freshly grated root vegetables — celeriac, carrot, horseradish, and radish or kohlrabi — bound with mayonnaise and a touch of mustard. The crunchy texture and sharp bite of horseradish make it a bold and satisfying appetizer or side dish.

💡Variations
Fasting version: Replace the mayonnaise with vegan mayo or an oil-and-lemon dressing for a fully plant-based salad.
With green apple: Add a grated green apple for a sweet-tart note that balances the horseradish.
With sour cream: Replace half the mayonnaise with thick sour cream for a lighter, slightly tangy version.
