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

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the turnips into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Drain the cooked turnips and cauliflower thoroughly. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the salad warm, garnishing with the remaining bacon pieces and freshly chopped chives.
