I made a few changes, but loved this recipe. I had never made turnip greens and didn’t want to make the traditional sauteed/braised style of greens. This recipe was what I needed and it was tasty! I added radishes and green onions to the veggies. For the dressing, I used balsamic vinegar (instead of the sherry vinegar and added a bit of vegan mayo and dijon mustard to recreate the summer picnic potato salad feeling. I will certainly make this one again.
