Ingredients

  • 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/s coriander leaves, roughly chopped
  • 3 medium turnips (about 400g), peeled
  • 100g watercress, tough stems discarded

Method

  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.
