Don’t sleep on this little mood lifter. Iridescently pink and irresistible, this lightly fermented and marinated pickle is crunchy, perfect on a falafel, and a staple of many Middle Eastern diets. While these turnips are often served with cracked olives, pita, dips, and spreads, I encourage you to reach for this anytime you’d use fresh celery: Give it a go in an egg salad, a tuna salad, or a pasta salad for some pretty, pickled crunch.
