Question

Bevi, now that sounds really, and I mean *really* really good.  ;o)

Bevi · Answer

How about an olive oil/balsamic vinegar/maple syrup/country mustard dressing?

AntoniaJames- I had no idea about the Zante raisins! I love Food52. :)

AntoniaJames · Answer

Outstanding suggestion, pierino. I like askann's idea, too.  Michael, are you using real currants, or those little imposter Zante raisins?  A true currant is nice and tart, and just lovely when plumped with sherry vinegar.  ;o)

pierino · Answer

A bit of prepared or grated horseradish in that sherry vinaigrette couldn't hurt with the kale.

Michael H. · Answer

I'm soaking some currants in sherry vinegar right now. Nuts sound great, but the rest of the meal is so rich that I think I'll leave them out. Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!

askann · Answer

I'm going a different direction: crushed garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds, scallions. Maybe some grated ginger.

iuzzini · Answer

raisins or currants and toasted pignolis (pine nuts) if you have them :)

AntoniaJames · Answer

Pecans!   Or some other nut. + Some roasted carrots, cut into little chunks.  You need more contrast in color and texture. The sweetness of the carrots will be a nice counterpoint to the somewhat spicy notes in the turnips. Sounds good!!  ;o)

Michael H. · Answer

@nutcakes Done. I agree. Just a sherry vinaigrette? Any other ingredients?

nutcakes · Answer

If you have sherry vinegar, I think that would be great to use in viniagrette. It just screams out to me.
