Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh celery root. Look for roots that are firm and heavy for their size, with no blemishes or bruises.
To peel celery root, use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer layer.
Celery root can be grated, sliced, or diced. For the vinaigrette in this recipe, it's best to grate the celery root so that it evenly distributes its flavor throughout the dressing.
If you don't have white wine vinegar on hand, you can substitute another type of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar.
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the grated celery root, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is smooth and emulsified.
Serve the vinaigrette immediately over roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or fish.

Conclusion:

This celery root vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experiment with different types of vinegar, mustard, and honey to find the perfect combination for you.
