Salad Turnip and Radish Salad
- 1 bunch salad turnips or japanese turnips with greens
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 small radishes
- 1 spring onion
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tbsp vinegar (I used white wine vinegar)
- 1/2 tsp salt, more or less to taste
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1/2 tsp honey (optional)
- Cut the greens and thin root tip off turnips.
- Wash turnips well and slice into thin slices.
- Pick out good leaves from greens an chop into smaller pieces.
- Slice radishes and onions very thinly.
- Soak the onion in cold water for 5-10 minutes, massaging briefly with your hands.
- Drain well.
- (this helps tone down the sharpness of the onion)
- In a mixing bowl, sprinkle turnips and greens with about 1/2 tsp salt.
- Massage gently with hands and let set for 5-10 minutes.
- This technique draws out excess water from the turnips.
- After turnips have sat for a few minutes, gently squeeze out the excess water over the sink.
- To make the dressing, mix oil, vinegar, and a bit of salt and pepper until well combined.
- If you like a touch of sweetness, mix in the honey, too!
- Add all veggies to the mixing bowl, pour over the dressing and toss so it's evenly coated.
- Can be eaten immediately or left to "marinate" in the fridge.
- Again, turnips are good just by themselves so you can leave out onions and radishes, or substitute your other favorites ;)
