Zesty Turnip Salad
Turnips have a crisp flesh with a peppery bite and can be eaten raw or cooked. Turnips are a delightful alternative to potatoes. They are less starchy and have a natural, zesty flavor. Feel free to add turnips to soups or stews instead of the old spud.
Roasting turnips on their own or in combination with other root veggies, will elevate them to another level. They mellow out and become a little sweeter, while still retaining their peppery character. Turnip mash with herbs is one of my all-time favorites to make and to eat. Creamy, buttery and satisfying.
This light and zesty turnip salad will be a wonderful addition to your plate. Try is as a side to my Mama’s Crispy Chicken Fritters. Make sure to leave some leftover salad in the fridge. Overnight, this shredded splendor will transform into a pickle that you will love on a sandwich or a burger.
