Turnip Slaw
Columbus Dispatch-Cook's Corner-Wednesday, May 3, 2000-From The Fannie Farmer Cookbook

This keeps a couple of days before it turns bitter, so don't make tons of it.

5 medium-size white turnips, peeled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seeds
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried dillweed or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh


Slice turnips into very thin matchstick strips (julienne) and place into a large bowl. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, celery seeds, pepper and dill. Stir well until dressing is mixed and has coated the turnips. Refrigerate until serving time.
