Ingredients
- 2 pounds celery root
- 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup good mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 teaspoons Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Use a serrated knife to peel the celery root of all the brown outer portions, like peeling a pineapple. Cut the celery root into thin matchsticks with a mandoline, or grate them in a food processor fitted with the coarsest grating blade. With the food processor, press a little as you feed the chunks through and you will have larger shreds. Place the celery root in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and allow to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the 2 mustards, the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice, the vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the pepper. Add enough sauce to lightly moisten the salad. (You may have some sauce left over.) Serve cold or at room temperature.

i also think this recipe is too sharp, i might omit the vinegar if i tried it again, which likely i will not. it doesn't let the lovely celery flavor come thru sufficiently. i added honey, some few T of ketchup, and about 2 t of horseradish, just to add flavor and to counter-act the sharpness. but of course, they all have vinegar in them too. conclusion: love celery root...check out what Julia and others say to do with the remoulade.

Yes... I do think there was too much mayo and too much salt. HOWEVER, I do love this recipe & I just made the changes to suit me. On special occasions, I top the remoulade with cooked lobster tossed with a wee bit of the sauce. Making this again for Christmas, when I excuse myself from "low fat" and "diet. I will be getting back on the wagon January 2011... till then, I will enjoy Ina's recipes!

I followed the recipe and got a lovely salad, BUT the texture is all wrong. It should either be crunchy (as in jicama or soft. This is neither. I prefer cooking celery root a bit. That way it loses the sponginess. What do others think?
