Hakurei Turnip Salad
Author: Hattie
This recipe is a favorite because it’s so flexible. You can add other hearty salad greens, such as arugula and mustard greens, and use sunflower seeds in place of nuts.
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch, hakurei turnips with greens (5 or 6 turnips)
  • 1 bunch, mustard greens or arugula (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts or sunflower seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Prepare the Salad
  1. Rinse and chop into salad-sized pieces the greens from one bunch of turnips and your optional mustard greens or arugula.
  2. Put the stems in your compost bucket or freeze them with your other veggie scraps to make stock later on.
  3. Put the greens in your salad bowl.
The Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar, honey, and mustard.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add pecans or walnuts or sunflower seeds, then the vinegar mixture.
  4. Heat thoroughly and reduce the dressing until it starts to thicken.
  5. Remove from the heat, pour over the salad, and toss to coat all the greens.
  6. Top with croutons, if desired.
  7. Serve at once.
Notes
Prepare this salad in a bowl and dress it just before serving.
