GERMAN NO-TATO SALAD

SERVES 5

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: 10 minutes

Served hot or cold, this salad is one of our favorites here at home. We like to enjoy it warm when I first make a batch, then cold for all the leftovers. To make a full meal out of this salad, I generally serve it with sliced deli meat and a simple mustard sauce.

2 medium rutabaga (2 lbs/910 g), peeled

1 teaspoon finely ground sea salt

1 small red onion, finely diced

¼ cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar

¼ cup (60 ml) avocado oil or olive oil

4 green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon erythritol

¾ teaspoon ground black pepper

FOR SERVING:

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons mayonnaise

10 ounces (285 g) thinly sliced deli ham or other meat of choice

  1. Cut the rutabaga into ½-inch (1.25-cm) cubes, place in a large saucepan, cover completely with water, and add the salt. Cover with the lid, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. Meanwhile, place the remaining ingredients in a large salad bowl. Once the rutabaga is cooked, drain completely and transfer to the salad bowl. Toss to combine, then divide among 5 plates.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and mayonnaise.
  4. Serve the ham slices alongside the salad with 2 teaspoons of the mustard sauce.
