Courtesy of Jessica Shillato from the Spotted Salamander Café and Catering in Columbia, South Carolina, this recipe is a great new addition to the party menu. The turnip greens are incredibly versatile and boil down similarly to collard greens. The recipe combines the the rich flavors of sour cream, savory country ham, sharp parmesan cheese, and minced, aromatic garlic. Packed with flavors that coat the tongue in a creamy composition, this turnip greens country ham dip is perfect for crackers, toast points, or sliced veggies.
*This recipe is perfect for leftover greens. Collards or spinach work in the place of turnip greens.
