Do you cook the beets and turnips before adding to salad or you leave them raw?
Magically less than the sum of its parts: I’m so disappointed with this meal – it looks gorgeous, and it’s full of things I love. I put in a lot of time and money buying the exact ingredients and preparing to the letter, except the cayenne pepper as my kids won’t eat spicy food. I thought the 3/4 cup of vinegar seemed incredibly excessive but I trusted in the recipe. Alas I was right. This is only good for the compost heap now. I can’t eat a plate of vinegar for dinner, there’s nothing that can salvage this. We have to eat last minute leftovers now :-/
¾ Tablespoon vinegar would not be enough liquid to make a dressing. My guess in ¼ cup, but I haven’t made it yet. I do plan to make the recipe, but will be careful to edit the dressing. Thanks for the warning.
Ack! I feel your pain, Gabrielle, and am shocked the recipe hasn’t been changed yet.
Because surely 3/4 TABLESPOON is plenty of vinegar?
