Russian-style crab meat salad

A proper Russian table should always have a crab meat salad, at least that's what my grandmother used to say. Here is my recipe for a crab meat salad that's always a hit.

What you'll need:
1 cup of celery root, finely chopped
2 teaspoons of Dijon Mustard
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
salt
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 pound of lump crab meat (real or imitation, I usually use imitation)
1 tablespoon of finely chopped parsley
2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, depending on your taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste

Combine ingredients in a bowl. Serve! If the salad tastes too salty to you, boil another egg and add to the mixture. If you are allergic to eggs you can use potatoes instead.
