Directions

In a food processor, combine the celery, scallions, parsley and garlic, and pulse until finely chopped. Add the mustard, ketchup, lemon juice, horseradish, red wine vinegar, sweet paprika, yellow mustard, hot sauce and salt and pulse until well combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the processor bowl, if necessary. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream until fully incorporated.

Transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate until ready to use.
