Ingredients
- 10 small turnips (3/4 pound), peeled
- 1/2 pound baby carrots, peeled
- Six 2-inch baby onions, peeled
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon French walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Two 6-ounce heads of Bibb lettuce (8 cups)
- 3 ounces baby spinach (4 cups)
- 4 baby bok choy (6 ounces), thickly sliced crosswise
- 3 small kirby cucumbers (1/2 pound), sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
- 1 cup packed small basil leaves
- 1/2 cup lightly packed small chervil or parsley sprigs
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the turnips and boil over moderate heat until just tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the turnips to a platter. Repeat with the carrots, cooking them for 3 minutes, and then the onions, cooking them for 2 minutes. Refrigerate the vegetables until chilled. Halve the turnips and thickly slice the onions.
- In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil with the vinegar, walnut oil and mustard and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large salad bowl, toss the Bibb lettuce with the spinach, bok choy, cucumbers, basil, chervil sprigs and the cooked vegetables. Add the vinaigrette, toss to coat and serve.
