Celery Root, Fennel, and Apple Salad with Labne Dressing

I love celery root and this is my version of the classic salad. Instead of mayonnaise, the dish is dressed with creamy labne balanced with calamansi vinegar, pistachio oil, and Coquelicot. It’s great fresh and even better the next day when the flavors have really marinated together.
