German Potato Salad with Turnips and Sweet Potatoes

I love the flavors from German potato salad.  I decided to experiment with turnips and sweet potatoes versus red potatoes to reduce the carbs and enhance the nutritional value of this salad.  Normally German potato salad includes bacon, but I wasn’t in the mood for bacon.  Feel free to add bacon when you make this.

Ingredients:

1 sweet potato peeled and cubed

2 large turnips peeled and cubed

½ red onion diced

1 green onion diced

4 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Olive oil spray

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.  Add turnips and sweet potatoes.  Cook for 10 minutes until tender. Drain.
2. Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil spray.  Add red onions and cooked turnips and sweet potatoes.  Cook mixing often for 5 minutes.
3. Add 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and pure maple syrup while cooking and mixing often.
4. Transfer to a medium bowl.  Add green onions and remaining 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar.
5. Enjoy warm or refrigerate in a covered bowl until ready to serve.
6. Mix to redistribute dressing before serving.
