Steps:
- Combine the celery root, fennel, apple and lemon juice in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together and set aside for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours. This not only tenderizes and marinates the vegetables so they become pliable but also stops them from turning brown.
- Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, honey and mustard in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable and toss well. Fold in the dried cranberries. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the vegetables. This will help them marinate more evenly and create a more delicate slaw.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. This slaw is a great way to use up whatever you have on hand. Some other good options include carrots, radishes, and jicama.
- Make sure to taste the slaw before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more vinegar, sugar, or salt.
- Serve the slaw chilled. This will help the flavors meld together and make the slaw even more refreshing.
