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
- 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.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and mayonnaise.
- Serve the ham slices alongside the salad with 2 teaspoons of the mustard sauce.
