TURNIP GREENS SALAD

Turnip Greens Salad image

This Turnip Greens Salad was created using items from my garden. Because most people cook turnip greens, I wanted to present those same greens in a way that would retain their nutrient content. You can also add different kinds of meat, like cooked shrimp or chicken. -James McCarroll, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
