parsnip salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this salad for supper; could not find the watercress, looked at 4 upscale groceries. Used a pkg'd lettuce, called... artistic lettuce; it was good, the dressing was great. Like some of the others will probably keep the salad dressing to use again. Will keep looking for the watercress and if/when I find it will make this salad again; this is the first time I (think) have ever had parsnips; they were delicious by them selves, as well as on the salad. Long years ago my family and I shared a Thanksgiving dinner w/a couple (he was from England & she was from Finland); she made a dish called 'sweets' and I think it was made w/parsnips; not sure. Does anyone know? thanks for the wonderful recipe....ldbRead more

Nice and Light ---alright
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It was alright. My husband gave it a 6 out of 10. Good for variety but not something you would make all the time. I really... did like the dressing though.Read more

Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So good I made it two nights in a row. Didn't have enough parsnips or a pear so the first night I substituted asparagus and... an apple. The second night I roasted yellow squash, zucchini, asparagus, beets, parsnips, carrots, orange bell pepper, and let everyone select the veggies they wanted on their salad. Also, I used a mixture of greens both nights. Goat cheese added a nice compliment to the pear. Can't wait for the leftovers at lunch!Read more

Best Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad was wonderful! It is so simple yet all the flavors taste delicious together. Second time we made it we rushed the... parsips - bad idea. Make sure you take the time to fully roast the parsips otherwise you lose what makes this salad special.Read more

Great salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I never actually bought parsnips before this. My son encouraged me to try this recipe and we liked it. The grocery store... didn't have watercress so I used some mixed green instead. I would used the vinagrette with other salads too.Read more

Great Base Recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Wow! I love Parsnips but had never had them roasted before. It looked like an amazing recipe and I had to try it, though I... changed a few things to my own tastes. I used greens I had on hand (Romaine) and roasted the parsnips with some garlic and fresh corn kernels which I also added to the salad. The parsnips were so flavorful and the dressing was a great compliment. To turn this salad into a main dish I also added some strips of left over steak and a sprinkle of gorgonzola. This one is a keeper and a great winter Salad.Read more
