Peel the turnips and carrot. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the turnips and carrot into matchstick-sized pieces for optimal crunch and presentation.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced turnips, carrot, chopped parsley, and dill.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for an extra chilled and refreshing experience.
