Folks who love simple foods can slice and eat turnips completely plain. Turnips have a crisp fresh flavor that’s quite lovely.
We, however, find that turnips are immensely more enjoyable when dressed and made into a salad or slaw. Trim and peel your turnips. Chop into bite-sized pieces or coarsely grate. Toss in a bowl with a creamy dressing made out of plain yogurt, cottage cheese, mayonnaise (you can leave out one of these three ingredients and still have a yummy dressing). Add a dash of balsamic vinegar for sweetness. Salt and pepper to taste.
