Think you’re not a fan of turnips? Think again!
Grow Dat Wellness Specialist (and resident chef) Deb Willetts has concocted a truly fabulous Turnip Cole Slaw using the scarlet turnips which are now bountiful in our fields. Have you enjoyed our samples recently at the Sankofa Farmer’s Market? There’s a strong chance that this is the recipe you sampled! (Or, it might have been our Radish Leaf Pesto or Arugula Pesto – stay tuned to this blog for future delectable recipes.)
