Serves: 4 as a starter or side
1 red chilli, deseeded
½ tsp grated fresh root ginger
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 lime, zest and juice
½ garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped
3-4 medium turnips (about 400g), peeled
100g pack watercress, tough stems discarded
1. Finely chop ¾ of the chilli and mix in a large bowl with the ginger, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, garlic, olive oil and coriander; set aside.
2. Cut the turnips into wafer-thin slices – a mandolin or the thinnest slicing blade of a food processor are useful here – and toss with the dressing. Quickly mix with the watercress and spread over a platter or divide between plates, spooning over the juices. Finely slice the remaining chilli and scatter over the top of the salad, with more coriander, if liked.
