How to Make Peasant Turnip Slaw With Sweet Hot Mustard Dressing

Peel 1 pound of turnips and 1 medium carrot.
Shred or julienne cut the peeled turnips and carrot using a mandoline, food processor, or sharp knife. Aim for thin, even strips.
In a large bowl, toss the shredded vegetables with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or sweet hot mustard), 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the shredded vegetables and gently toss to coat evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours) to allow the flavors to fully develop and the slaw to chill.
