Make the vinaigrette: Put the mustard, salt, sugar, vinegar and parsley in a blender and process until combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender, cover and process at its slowest setting.

Drizzle in the olive oil slowly. When it is all in, move the blender to its highest setting and puree for about 90 seconds.

Shred the root vegetables: Peel all the vegetables except for the radishes, if you are using black ones.

Using a coarse grater or food processor, slice shreds off the vegetables into a bowl. Try to keep the shreds roughly the same length if you can.

Toss shredded vegetables with vinaigrette: To finish, toss some of the vinaigrette with the shredded vegetables and season with salt to taste. Let stand in the fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving.
