Turnip, beets, chard, mustard. Haven’t tried radish or rutabaga, cabbage leaves work as cabbage rolls. kohlrabi, ( a cabbage varient) I told her it was a spicy type of water chestnut LOL, it worked. I have most of them coming up nicely in my winter garden right now.

Do turnip, beet, chard, and mustard greens all work well in salads as well as cooked? I’m a northerner and I only remember my grandmother cooking them as I was growing up. I don’t recall ever having them in salads at all during my youth. My father didn’t like cooked greens of any kind, so my mother always gave hers to her mother to cook because my grandparents loved them.

My grandmother usually cooked hers with a little bacon, and either some onion or shallot and seasoned them with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. I liked them best, however, when she would cream them for a special holiday dinner and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top! YUM!
