Shaved Turnip Salad With Arugula and Prosciutto

My mom introduced me to this salad. I originally had other plans for these turnips but when my CSA gave me the freshest, pepperiest arugula, I craved this salad. Originally a NY Times Recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 4 teaspoons red wine vinegar

  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Pepper

  • 4 small turnips, about 5 ounces, peeled

  • 8 cups arugula, wild if possible

  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, torn into bite-size pieces

Preparation:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and salt until the salt dissolves. Whisk in the honey, oil and pepper.

  2. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the turnips into paper-thin rounds. In a large bowl, combine turnips, arugula and prosciutto. Toss with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
