Grated rutabagas and shredded radicchio are dressed with a creamy silken tofu dressing. Apple juice reduction and apple cider vinegar add a perfectly sweet and tangy element to the dressing. Freshly chopped parsley is used in the salad to highlighten the flavours and to give it some extra colour.
Rutabaga, also know as Swede, is a nutritious root vegetable derived from turnips and cabbage, and has a sweet earthiness and is not peppery as turnips. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
| Tofu Dressing | Salad |
|---|
- 200 ml Apple juice
- 4 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp Light soya sauce
- 400 g Silken tofu
- 2 tbsp Sesame seed oil
- 3 tbsp Sunflower oil
|
- 500 g Rutabaga, peeled and grated
- 60 g Radicchio, shredded
- 1 handful Parsley, roughly chopped
|
- Place apple juice in a saucepan and boil until reduced by half. Add in apple cider vinegar and soya sauce. Mix well and pour into the blender. Drain the tofu and add into the apple juice mixture. Blend until smooth. Add in sesame seed oil and sunflower oil. Blend for a minute on high.
- Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to peel the rutabaga. Peel enough of the skin so that the flesh exposed is yellow. Shred the rutabaga with a grater, mandolin or a food processor. Thinly shred the radicchio. Roughly chop the parsley.
- Put the grated rutabaga strips, shredded radicchio and chopped parsley in a large salad bowl. Add in 1 cup of dressing and toss all together until well combined. Cover with a plastic film and store in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow the flavours to mingle.

The salad sounds wonderful but it is the dressing that caught my eye. I would love to try this! and i love the above quote!
silkon tofu salad dressing is something unusual but I think I will like it! your salad is beautiful.
The tofu dressing is an absolutely genius idea Angie. The whole salad looks so well put together with the crunch and all the flavors. If a salad looked this good, eating healthy is fun.

I love rutabega! Never thought to use it in a salad. Great idea, Angie!
Mmm.. radicchio! I need a tips or 2 on how to dress my radicchio differently. I like this, a very original and inventive salad!
Angie I printed this...This is such a lovely post all around..the pictures are just perfect and this salad..oh I cannot wait to make it.
the first time I heard about rutabega was in winnie the pooh :D, and have wondered how it looked like and tasted :). salad looks delicious, never knew you can use tofu to make dressing
I'm at the airport ready to fly home after a fun trip with some girlfriends. We ate a ton...so delicious veggie heavy dishes like your salad will need to be on my menu this coming week. It looks wonderful!
I keep meaning to try tofu dressing. Thanks for the reminder!
The dressing sounds very interesting,Angie! The salad looks delicious! Great combination of textures and flavors!
This sounds absolutely delicious, Angie! Beautiful colors, too! That tofu dressing sounds diiiii-vine.
Not a fan of rutabaga...at least not the over boiled stuff from my childhood. never tried it in a salad like this and I think I would like it. A silken tofu dressing is such a great idea. Great salad Angie.
What a crazy cool salad. I don't eat muuucch tofu, but I love the sound of this salad dressing. It would be so creamy!
stunning presentation.
gorgeous red platters.
WOW. Xx
I've never seen this type of salad before, it looks fantastic!
Once again, your presentation is exquisite! Such a lovely way to enjoy these healthy vegetables.

Dear Angie, What a beautiful salad and table setting. It is very elegant, delicious and healthy. Blessing dear. Catherine xo
my mother used to make rutabaga salad but with mayo :) yours is healthier and I'm curious to try the tofu dressing.Wonderful shots!
Wonderful salad with a delicious dressing!
Kisses!
Love how high protein that dressing is from the tofu! Great raw veggie salad!
Angie, I only ever have rutabaga in a pot roast. It has never occurred to me to use it raw in a salad! Can't wait to try it!
This is a beautiful salad! I'd love to try a variation .. I've never actually had rutabaga. I've been terrified to grab it at the market for fear I wouldn't know what the heck to do with it! Well, now I know :) thanks!
I'm not sure if my comment went through, so I'll just say that I wish I'd had this recipe a few weeks ago when I had a package of silken tofu in the frig that I ended up throwing out. I hate wasting food. I'll save this for the next time. Have a terrific weekend!
The creamy dressing sounds delicious, and I love all the colors in this salad!
Oh wow, what a gorgeous salad!
Lovely clicks Angie, that salad dressing looks simply too good..
That looks STUNNING Angie! I love how crisp and colourful the vegetables are- sort of reminds me of yusheng- this salad definitely could be a fun alternative or addition to the CHinese New year table. Yum!!
This is just what I need for luck! I love the acv in the dressing.
What a pretty and delicious looking salad Angie!
Healthy, light and delicious! this is a real winner!

I often underestimate dressing...yours looks fantastic, Angie. And so does the salad...very Winter and very fresh. :) ela
Gorgeous salad and I love the tofu dressing.
Never had silken tofu dressing before, tempting to try....

This is one healthy and gorgeous looking salad, Angie! Love those red plates!

I could eat this salad day and night. This looks delicious!
I love those beautiful, red plates, Angie! What a beautiful salad to serve on them. The dressing sounds wonderful too.
Holy cow! That looks amazing. What a combination of radicchio and rutabaga then followed by a silken tofu dressing...Wow. A totally creative combination.
Love your tofu dressing Angie - great way to add silkiness and protein!
Another beautifully presented dish!
I didn't know you could eat rutabaga raw! What a unique and gorgeous salad this is Angie!
Lovely salad but dressing even better! I love how you sliced the vegetables-)
Recently I have used silken tofu to "thicken" up pureed veg. soup and really like the idea of it. Good to use it in dressings too! :)
Tofu dressing! That's a first for me... I'm very intrigued by this novel idea and your salad looks fresh and full of colour. Lovely.
Stunning! I love your plating/ presentation. Very artistic!
