Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 500 grams) celeriac (celery root)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and trim the celeriac, then cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Place the celeriac strips in a large bowl and immediately toss with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent discoloration and to enhance flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined to make the dressing.
Pour the mustard dressing over the celeriac strips, tossing well to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad and gently mix it in to distribute the herbs.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a light toss and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt or lemon juice.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or starter dish for your meal.
