There are a few different ways to cook Turnips. 1. You can cook it as a whole and peel the skin and cut it later. This will on the other side take much more time as turnips are pretty big and to get them fully cooked takes much, much longer. 2. You can Microwave the Turnips for about 6 minutes, which could also be an option if you prefer.  3. Another option is to bake the turnip. They taste perfect on its own, but for this salad, I do prefer cooked ones. 4. In our method, peel, cut and boil already pre-cut turnips. This takes much less time and actually gets all the turnips to cook evenly.  5. Additionally, you can add a bit of turmeric for the color, if you are looking for an exact Potato Eye Appeal.
