Savory Turnip and Lettuce Salad with Crispy Onions

1.In a bowl, soak the thinly sliced onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor them.

2.In another bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper together.

3.Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.

4.Remove the onions from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge them in the flour mixture until well coated.

5.Fry the coated onions in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6.In a large salad bowl, combine the torn lettuce leaves and sliced turnips.

7.In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a dressing.

8.Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

9.Top the salad with the crispy fried onions just before serving for maximum crunch.
