Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 pound) celery root (celeriac)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers (optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 slices extra lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
Peel the celery root using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, removing any tough outer skin.
Rinse the celery root and pat it dry with a clean towel.
Grate the celery root using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the grated celery root with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, capers (if using), chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the dressing to the grated celery root and mix thoroughly until the celery root is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the salad a final stir and transfer it to a serving platter or individual plates.
Garnish with extra lemon slices and a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.
