Rutabaga “Potato” Salad

You can make this your way with your favorite potato salad ingredients. Why use rutabagas? One cup of rutabaga has nearly 50% of your daily recommended amount of Vitamin C!

2 medium to large rutabaga gilfeather turnip and rutabaga
1/4 -1/3 cup mayonaise (or Nayo)
1 teaspoon mustard
1/4 to 1/2 an onion, diced
1-2 tbs sweet relish
garlic powder
salt
pepper

Other fun ingredients to try: salad greens, celery, celery salt, hard-boiled eggs, dill, dill seed, chopped dill pickle, diced carrots, even some cooked potatoes mixed in!

Clean, peel, and chop the rutabaga into cubes. Put into a pot, just cover with water, and boil until soft and edible, when a fork goes through easily. Drain water out. Rinse the rutabaga in cold water if you want to get it to be a cold salad.

Mix in all other ingredients. You can soak the diced onions in warm water (or the rutabaga boiling water) to mellow them if you want. Adjust flavorings to taste. Chill in the fridge, or eat warm.
