New England Parsnip Salad
|
|
|
The parsnip, a member of the carrot family, was a favorite early American vegetable, but it has not been very popular in recent years. It is still highly prized in New England during the winter. The sweet, nutty flavor has particular appeal, and parsnips make good winter salads to serve with roast meat or poultry.
