10 ingredients
13 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 pound celery root (also called celeriac), peeled
  • 2 carrots, peeled
  • 1 green apple (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup light olive oil
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the celery root, carrots, and the optional apple into julienne matchsticks.
  2. 2
    The best way to do this is to use a julienne disk on a food processor.
  3. 3
    Work quickly, so the celeriac doesnt change color.
  4. 4
    Toss the sticks in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon salt and 3 tablespoons lemon juice.
  5. 5
    Add enough cold water to the bowl just to cover the mixture, and let it steep for 30 minutes.
  6. 6
    Drain, and discard the water.
  7. 7
    Using a food processor fitted with a steel blade, pulse together the egg, the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and the mustard.
  8. 8
    With the motor running, slowly stream in the oils.
  9. 9
    When you finish pouring in the oil, you should have a thick, yellowish mayonnaise.
  10. 10
    Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  11. 11
    Put the celery root, carrots, and apple together with 2 heaping tablespoons of your prepared mayonnaise into a large bowl, and fold together.
  12. 12
    Cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  13. 13
    This tends to taste best when it sits for a day or two in the refrigerator.
