Fennel, Sunchoke and Apple Salad

According to Peter Berley, author of The Flexitarian Table, which contains the recipe on which this one is based, raw sunchokes (also known as Jerusalem artichokes) “have a crisp texture and sweet, nutty flavor”.

In this preparation they are sliced paper thin and tossed with fennel, radishes, and apples and marinated in a delicate vinaigrette. The result is a refreshing salad that works perfectly as a side dish or an appetizer. Click here for the recipe.
