Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium-sized celery root, peeled and julienned (about 1 pound)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: capers or chopped cornichons
Instructions
- Wash and peel the celery root. Cut off the top and bottom, then slice away the outer skin. Julienne the celery root into thin matchsticks.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, mayonnaise, and fresh lemon juice. Gradually pour in olive oil while whisking to create a smooth dressing. Add salt and black pepper, and adjust seasoning to taste.
- Place the julienned celery root into a large mixing bowl. Pour the mustard dressing over the celery root and toss until evenly coated.
- Fold in the finely chopped parsley for freshness and color. Optionally, mix in capers or chopped cornichons for extra tanginess.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Toss before serving and garnish with parsley.
Notes
[‘Choose firm, heavy celery roots with minimal blemishes for the best flavor.’, ‘Let the remoulade sit in the fridge to allow the dressing to soak into the celery root for deeper flavor.’, “If you don’t have a mandoline slicer, use a sharp knife to julienne the celery root into thin matchsticks.”]
