Are you tired of the same old salad every day? Do you want to add some variety and nutrition to your meals? Look no further than turnips!
Turnips are a root vegetable that are low in calories and high in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. They have a slightly sweet and slightly bitter taste that pairs well with a variety of flavors.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy turnips is in a salad. This recipe is easy to make, packed with nutrition, and will spice up your salad game.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium turnips, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the turnips, almonds, and cranberries.
- Add the mixed greens and toss to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
This salad is not only delicious, but it is also packed with nutrition. The turnips provide fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, while the almonds add healthy fats and protein. The cranberries provide a touch of sweetness and antioxidants, and the mixed greens provide a variety of vitamins and minerals.
If you want to take this salad to the next level, try adding some grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein. You could also swap out the almonds for walnuts or pecans, or the cranberries for raisins or chopped dates.
When it comes to the dressing, I recommend using high-quality ingredients. I like to use Primal Kitchen Apple Cider Vinaigrette because it is made with organic ingredients and contains no artificial sweeteners or soy. If you prefer to make your own dressing, try using olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard.
So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this turnip salad a try. Your taste buds and your body will thank you!
