In a large serving bowl add lemon juice. Grate celery root into thin shreds and quickly transfer to the large bowl.
In a small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard. If the mixture seems too thick, add a little lemon juice. Add the mayonnaise mixture to celery root and toss to blend well. Season with salt and pepper.
