Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound new or red waxy potatoes, scrubbed clean

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

I made a few changes, but loved this recipe. I had never made turnip greens and didn't want to make the traditional sauteed/braised style of greens. This recipe was what I needed and it was tasty! I added radishes and green onions to the veggies. For the dressing, I used balsamic vinegar (instead of the sherry vinegar and added a bit of vegan mayo and dijon mustard to recreate the summer picnic potato salad feeling. I will certainly make this one again.
