Faux potato salad using turnips
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. |

I'm still going with the trader Joes High Fiber stuff. I haven't had any cereal since last Fall, when I finished up the last box of Atkins flakes I had stashed away. I've never been a big cereal eater. I only ate cereal occasionally, but they were a great item for a change from time to time and I do miss them. No Trader Joe's near me and I haven't really looked for any replacement. South Beach had a product that was lower carb, but I think it was around 20g of carb vs maybe 7 or so for Atkins. The Atkins cereal really tasted great, as good as regular and even the last old box that must have been 5 years old still tasted very good. On another note, there is more, even worse news. Looks like Hood has killed their CalorieCountdown LC milk! I'll start a new thread on that one. |

Did you use the white turnips with purple near the stem? -- Yes, the ones that have some purple on the skin. I've also used them to make faux corn beef hash, which worked OK too. And I routinely put them in a variety of soups, like turkey vegetable. Once they are cooked they become remarkably mild.
