Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Spoon the celeriac remoulade onto crisp canapé bases shortly before serving and finish with finely chopped chives. It works particularly well as an Amuse or Appetizer and can be combined with toast, crisp potato or polenta bases.Recipe Notes
Cut the celeriac into very fine matchsticks so it combines evenly with the creamy dressing. A mandoline makes this quick, but a sharp knife works just as well. Add the lemon juice immediately after cutting to help maintain the fresh colour.Variations
Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard or lemon juice according to taste. Extra chopped herbs can be added for a fresher flavour. For a more substantial Salad, serve a larger portion rather than using the mixture as a canapé topping.Storage Advice
Transfer the prepared remoulade to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Stir before serving and add the topping to the canapé bases only shortly before serving so they remain crisp.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with the lemon, mustard, capers and fresh herbs. A dry Pinot Grigio is another fresh choice for these light canapés.Nutrition values
