Ingredients 1 pound baby carrots 1 pound baby turnips (preferably Japanese), peeled Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 1 tablespoon apricot marmalade, warmed slightly ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves Directions Combine carrots and turnips in a small pot; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; generously season with salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender but still hold their shape, 10 to 12 minutes; Drain. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together vinegar and marmalade. Gradually whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss warm vegetables with dressing. Stir in mint, season with salt and pepper, and serve. Cook's Notes Look for natural baby carrots, such as the "Nantes" variety of French carrots that can sometimes be found in the bagged produce section, or smaller carrots that come by the bunch.If using larger carrots, cut them on the bias into 2-inch-long pieces. If using larger turnips, halve or quarter them lengthwise, or slice them into 1 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Print
