Tips
- Choose the right rutabagas: Look for firm, smooth rutabagas that are about the size of a tennis ball. Avoid rutabagas that are wrinkled or have soft spots.
- Peel and cube the rutabagas: Use a sharp knife to peel the rutabagas, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
- Steam the rutabagas: Place the rutabaga cubes in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Cover the pot and steam the rutabagas for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Cook the potatoes: While the rutabagas are steaming, cook the potatoes according to the package directions. You can boil, bake, or microwave the potatoes.
- Make the dressing: While the rutabagas and potatoes are cooking, make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Combine the rutabagas, potatoes, and dressing: Once the rutabagas and potatoes are cooked, combine them in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat.
- Chill the salad before serving: Cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
