I came across these beautiful Summer Turnips at our Farmer's Market yesterday....
After much debate over what to do with them, I settled on a Summer Turnip Bruschetta.
Their beautiful mushroom color bulb reminded me of...
White Truffle Oil and freshly sliced Parmigiano Reggiano.
Throw in some fresh basil, chives and a pinch of salt to taste...
Even add some of the turnip greens if you'd like...
Served atop toasted baguette slices, lightly brushed with garlic...
And you have a fresh and delicious, healthy summer treat! The basic recipe follows...Enjoy!
Summer Turnip Bruschetta
A few handfuls summer turnips, washed and diced
A handful of summer turnip greens, diced (optional)
A handful fresh basil, chopped
A handful fresh chives, chopped
1/8-1/4 teaspoon White Truffle Oil
1/4 cup shaved Parmigiano Reggiano
Kosher salt to taste, about a pinch
Buttered and toasted baguette slices, lightly brushed with fresh garlic clove right out of the oven
Directions:
Mix the first seven ingredients together until well combined. Serve atop the toasted garlic baguette slices.

Looks very nice....getting hungry now after my workout at the gym.
This. Is. Perfection.
I can only imagine how delicious this is. What is it about the combination of truffle oil and parmigiano reggiano? It's heaven, really!
I love turnips I like the crunch...can I add cream cheese for this?
What a refreshing appetizer! Perfect to serve in summer time parties! I have a few coming up and I'm going to try this! Thanks for sharing.
