  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, mustard, shallots, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until smooth.
  4. Add the potatoes, eggs, watercress, and chives and toss to coat.

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
