CARROT AND TURNIP SALAD (TURPLU HAVUC SALATASI)

I love, love, love this salad.  It is one of my dad's favorite salads too.  Goes well as a side dish with just about everything.

3 medium sized carrots
1 medium sized white turnip
1 lemon (juiced)
salt
1/4 cup olive oil
Optional and for presentation only black olives
  • Scrape and wash the carrots
  • Peel the turnip
  • Using a food processor, or a manual shredder, shred carrots and the turnip (using the large side of the shredder)
  • Put them together in a bowl
  • Add salt and olive oil
  • Start adding lemon juice a little at a time and continue mixing.  I like lots of lemon juice but if you prefer less, adding a little at a time will help you find your preferred amount.
  • Leave in the fridge for a couple of hours.  Stir before serving
  • Decorate with black olives and parsley
