Method

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 1

    Prepare the Turnips

    Peel the turnips and cut them into cubes. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beets

    Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap them in aluminum foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until they are tender. Once cool, peel the skins off and cut into cubes.

  3. 3

    Chop the Parsley and Onion

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and dice the red onion.

Making the Dressing

  1. 4

    Combine the Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the smashed turnips, roasted beets, chopped parsley, and diced red onion.

  2. 6

    Add the Dressing

    Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine all ingredients. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for a refreshing cold salad.
