Celeriac Remoulade is the ultimate refreshing side dish—shredded celeriac tossed in a tangy, creamy mustard mayonnaise dressing. This French bistro favorite delivers crisp texture and bright flavor that pairs perfectly with roasted meats, sandwiches, or as a standalone appetizer. It’s simple, make-ahead friendly, and always impresses. The key to that perfect fine shred? A reliable tool like the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater, which handles root vegetables quickly and uniformly without turning them into mush.

🍋Ingredients (Serves 4–6 as a side)

1 medium celeriac (about 1–1.5 lbs / 500–700g), peeled

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

⅓ cup (80 ml) mayonnaise (good-quality or homemade)

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp whole-grain mustard (optional, for extra texture)

2 tbsp crème fraîche or sour cream

1 tbsp capers, rinsed and roughly chopped

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

🍳Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the celeriac

Peel the celeriac with a sharp knife to remove the rough outer skin. Cut it into manageable chunks that fit the feed tube of your grater. Immediately toss the pieces in 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Shred the celeriac

Attach the fine shredding blade to the cheese shredder hand crank. Secure the stable suction base to your countertop. Insert a piece of celeriac, use the food pusher to guide it safely, and turn the handle steadily. Collect the fine, even shreds in a large bowl. Repeat until all celeriac is shredded. Drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the shreds and toss gently to keep them bright and crisp.

Make the dressing

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard (if using), crème fraîche, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Combine everything

Add the shredded celeriac to the dressing along with the chopped capers and parsley. Fold gently until every strand is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to let the flavors meld.

Serve

Give it a final stir, taste for seasoning, and serve chilled.

🍎Variations & Twists

Apple version – Add 1 small tart apple (shredded with the fine blade) for sweet crunch.

Herb boost – Stir in fresh tarragon or chives instead of (or with) parsley.

Lighter style – Swap half the mayo for Greek yogurt.

Spicy kick – Add a pinch of cayenne or a teaspoon of horseradish to the dressing.

Nutty crunch – Sprinkle with a handful of crushed walnuts or hazelnuts just before serving (use the crushing blade on the 5-blade set if you have it).

🥗Final Thoughts

Celeriac Remoulade is elegant simplicity at its best—crisp, creamy, tangy, and endlessly versatile. With the rotary grater handling the shredding in seconds, you get perfect texture every time without the effort. Keep one in your kitchen and this classic becomes a weeknight staple. Enjoy!
