Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Turnips
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 6 slices Bacon
- 0.5 medium Onion
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Peel and cube the turnips into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the cubed turnips and boil for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the cauliflower florets. Boil until both are tender but not mushy.
While the turnips and cauliflower are cooking, chop the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Keep about 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet and add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Drain the cooked turnips and cauliflower thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the warm turnips and cauliflower. Add the sautéed onions and about 3/4 of the bacon pieces. Toss everything gently to coat.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the salad warm, garnishing with the remaining bacon pieces and freshly chopped chives.
