Remoulade Sauce Recipe
Equipment
- Food Processor
- Bowl
- Grater (for shredding celery root)
Ingredients
- 1 small celery root, peeled and shredded
- 1 celery stalk, roughly chopped
- 2 green onions, roughly chopped white and green parts
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cups mayo
- 1 tsp whole-grain mustard
- 2 tsp creole mustard
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 tsp worcheshire sauce
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Peel and shred the celery root, then set it aside in a bowl.
- In a food processor, blend the celery, green onion, garlic, and chopped onion until smooth. Drain any excess liquid.
- Add mayo, whole-grain mustard, Creole mustard, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, and kosher salt to the food processor. Pulse until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the shredded celery root until evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate the celery root remoulade for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Quality Ingredients: Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially the celery root and mayo, to ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Consistency Check: After blending the vegetables in the food processor, ensure the mixture is smooth but not overly watery. Drain excess liquid if needed for a thicker consistency.
- Seasoning Balance: Adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and other seasonings according to your taste preference. Taste the remoulade before refrigerating to ensure it’s perfectly seasoned.
- Food Processor Technique: Pulse the ingredients in the food processor just enough to combine them evenly. Avoid over-processing, which can result in a too-smooth texture.

Tips that Will Blow Your Mind!
- Peeling Celery Root: The skin of celery root is quite thick and knobby. Use a sturdy knife as I do to remove it rather than a vegetable peeler.
- Blending: Ensure the vegetable mixture in the food processor is as smooth as possible to create a creamy dressing.
- Chilling Time: The longer you let the remoulade chill, the better the flavors will develop. If you can, make it a few hours ahead or even the day before.
- Balance the Heat: Start with a little seasoning and hot pepper sauce. Taste and add more if needed. You want a spicy kick that doesn’t overpower the other flavors.
- Chop Finely: Coarsely chop the green onions which I always prefer to do. This helps distribute their flavors evenly throughout the sauce.
- Allow to Rest: After mixing, refrigerate the sauce for at least an hour. This waiting time allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
- Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of lemon juice or water. This will thin it without diluting the flavor.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh lemon juice and horseradish for the best flavor. Pre-bottled lemon juice and prepared horseradish can work, but fresh ingredients make the sauce shine.
Enjoy your delicious Celery Root Remoulade! It’s a wonderful dish to add a zesty and fresh flavor to your meals.
