Ingredients

  • 1 Onion
  • 2 Turnips
  • 3 Carrots
  • 1 Cup Green Peas
  • 1 Jar Pickles
  • 1 Cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 Cup Pickle Water

Instructions

  • Peel the turnips entirely. Cut all the turnips into bite sized pieces with a sharp knife, as regular potatoes typically do. At the same time, cut fresh carrots and place them all into a bowl ready for cooking.
  • Cut onion and all the pickles into small tiny squares and place them aside. At the same time, prepare your other ingredients. 
  • In a big glass bowl, add yogurt with mayonnaise and approximately 1/3rd of a cup of liquid left from your pickle jar. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix. 
  • Place turnips and carrots into a cooking pot, add boiling water, bring to a boil and let it cook until tender for 15 minutes maximum. 
  • Once your carrots and turnips are boiled, strain them through a strainer and pour a very cold pot of water to shock them, so they immediately stop the cooking process.
  • Add all remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl, such as the onion, pickles, and green peas. Pour the whole dressing you have stored in the fridge. 
  • Using two spatulas, gently mix the ingredients and salad dressing together. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours before you are ready to serve.

Notes

  • Adding the Pickle liquid adds lots of great flavor to it but also will liquidize the dressing. Be careful and rather add a bit at first and if needed more, do that later.
  • Do not let the Turnips and carrots over boil it, otherwise, they will turn mushy. I always take a piece after about 10 minutes to try if it is almost done and decide on the cooking time afterward.
  • Season with salt and pepper if it needs a bit more flavor. 
  • If the dressing is too thick, add more pickle juice and mix. 
  • Not sour enough? Add more pickles in. 
  • Turnips can also be roasted in a single layer on a baking sheet or steamed.
