Ingredients

1 pound baby carrots

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 

1 tablespoon apricot marmalade, warmed slightly 

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Combine carrots and turnips in a small pot; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; generously season with salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender but still hold their shape, 10 to 12 minutes; Drain.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together vinegar and marmalade. Gradually whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss warm vegetables with dressing. Stir in mint, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

If using larger carrots, cut them on the bias into 2-inch-long pieces. If using larger turnips, halve or quarter them lengthwise, or slice them into 1 1/2-inch-thick wedges.
