Ingredients

3/4 pound celery root, peeled and julienned
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Place celery root in a 2 1/2-quart souffle dish with a lid. Add water and cover. Holding the lid down with your thumbs, shake the dish to distribute the water evenly. Cook, covered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 8 minutes. Strain celery root and run under cold water until vegetables are cool.
Put mustard in a bowl and whisk in vinegar. Gradually whisk in oil, beginning with drops and increasing to a steady stream. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper. Whisk again and toss in celery root.
