Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 500g) celeriac (celery root)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground, or to taste) black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (finely chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the celeriac by slicing off the top and bottom, then use a knife or vegetable peeler to remove the thick outer skin. Rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Using either a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, shred the celeriac into fine matchsticks.
Immediately toss the shredded celeriac with the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl to prevent discoloration.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the shredded celeriac and mix thoroughly until the celeriac is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the remoulade sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but highly recommended for best taste.
Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley as a garnish, if desired.
Serve chilled as a light starter or a side dish to accompany meats, fish, or crusty bread.
