    Hi, I don't remember where to find the explanation why this recipe is ''low carb'' since it's 93% of fat and only 5g net carbs! Remember I did saw that one other comment but don't find it in the site!

    Nancy, have a read through this guide; specifically footnote 3 under the Keto section. In order to earn the keto green circle, there must be adequate protein as well. You could definitely have this as a side dish with your protein of choice to make a well rounded meal!

    Just made this for the first time. Used considerably less mayonnaise and a bit of carrot. Very easy and very nice. Whacked the chopped turnips and carrots into a food processor and the whole thing took 5 mins. Haven't had turnips for decades but will have more from now. Works really well for coleslaw.
