I'd previously made a faux potato salad using cauliflower and it was
OK. Today I tried using white turnips. It came out excellent, much
better than the cauliflower version. I just peeled the turnips, cut
them into cubes, then steamed them for a few minutes until they were
just tender enough to insert a fork. Quickly spread them out to let
them cool, then used in a classic potato salad, ie mayo, salt, pepper,
diced onion, diced celery, garlic powder, onion powder. You could
use any other recipe. It was delicious and really doesn't taste like
turnip and I think people would have a hard time figuring out what it
was made from. A 1/2 cup of the turnips has about 2g of carb compared
to 14 for potatoes.

Did you use the white turnips with purple near the stem?
