Turnips - Who Knew? (after 10 days)

Well, it has been ten days since I started pickling my turnips (Arabic style). I have t say, it has been worth the wait! These pickles are awesome, but only for those who love spicy food. I decided to make a basic Mediterranean salad with my pickles. Mmm! This is a great, light salad. Here is the recipe:

Preparation:
Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill weed, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Set salad dressing aside.

Chop lettuce, peel and slice cucumbers and thinly slice red onion. Toss together in a salad bowl with feta cheese. Dice tomato, set aside in a separate bowl.

Prepare each salad bowl with salad, top with tomatoes and 5-10 pickles (depends on your taste). Mix salad dressing again and drizzle over the salad. Serve immediately and ENJOY!

With those leftovers and some chicken, you can make Mediterranean Wraps for lunch the next day!
