A zingy twist on a classic German-style potato salad but made with turnips instead of starchy potatoes. This is an easy low-carb side dish to serve with any proteins including roast chicken, steak, pork chops or baked salmon.

The dressing is made with lemon juice, vinegar, lemon zest, low-carb sweetener (I like Allulose) and wholegrain mustard for a sweet yet tangy flavor! If you want to add some heat, use 1 tablespoons of Dijon mustard instead of the wholegrain mustard.

The wholegrain mustard, lemon juice and vinegar make it quite sharp and zingy so if you prefer the dressing less sour, skip the vinegar or use less lemon juice.

If you're not a fan of turnips, you can try other options such as chopped cauliflower, kohlrabi or rutabaga (swede). Just remember that you will need to adjust the baking time as each one of these options will require different baking time to cook through.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.
