1/2 cup whole buttermilk
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 tablespoon finely minced shallot (from 1 small shallot)
2 teaspoons lemon zest plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lemon)
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
3 red apples (such as Honeycrisp or Pippin) (about 1/2 lb.)
8 hakurei white turnips
1 large daikon radish, peeled
1 large watermelon radish
1/4 cup celery leaves (from 1 bunch)
2 cups chopped toasted walnuts, divided

1
Prepare the vinaigrette: Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients in a medium bowl until combined.
2
Prepare the salad: Fill a large bowl halfway with water, and add lemon juice. Using a very sharp knife or mandoline, shave apple (skin on) into thin slices, discarding seeds and core, and place in bowl of lemon water. Repeat with turnips, daikon radish, and watermelon radish. (You will have about 4 cups apple, 3 cups turnips, 2 cups daikon radish, and 2 cups watermelon radish.) Drain and spread on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to dry.
3
Combine vegetable slices and 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Mix with hands to make sure to separate and coat all pieces. Stir in celery leaves and 1 1/2 cups of the walnuts.
4
Transfer to a serving platter; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts, and serve with remaining vinaigrette on the side.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
