Hakurei Turnips

We love getting these hakurei turnips.  They are like a sweet radish, and not as hard as a regular turnip.  

We slice the hakurei turnips thin and add to a mixed salad with greens, carrots, radish.






We also make a side salad with these turnips and red radishes.


Hakurei turnip and radish salad recipe: 

• 4 hakurei turnips
• 4 red radish
• 2 tbsp seasoned sushi vinegar, or rice wine vinegar
• 1/4 tsp sugar (optional)
• 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
• pinch of salt

Cut the turnips and radish into matchsticks.  Place in bowl and toss with a little salt.  In a separate bowl whisk together the vinegar, sesame oil, and optional sugar.  Toss the vinegar dressing with the vegetables.  I find it is best to let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature after dressing to allow the flavors to combine before you taste it.  Salt to taste.  Pictured here with some of the microgreens.
