Salad turnip is the common name for Hakurei, or Tokyo, turnip. Like so many delicious foods (broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc) they belong to the brassica family of plants. The roots have a crisp, delicious raw flavor... sort of turnip-y, sort of radish-y.
No matter what you call them, or how you slice 'em, salad turnips are a real winner!
- easy, convenient out-of-hand snack
- crisp, tasty addition to the salad bowl
- nice addition to the crudite platter
And don't forget to cook up the tops :-)
