There are many recipes for rutabagas and turnips (mostly cooked). This recipe is raw - you don’t want to destroy some health benefits including high vitamin C content by cooking. This salad tastes so good by itself and also pairs well with other sides.
Rutabagas and turnips are high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamin C, potassium, and manganese. Like all brassicas*, they contain antioxidant, antibiotic and antiviral characteristics.
