GREEN APPLE AND CELERY SALAD WITH WALNUT AND MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE



Green Apple and Celery Salad With Walnut and Mustard Vinaigrette image

This was a very crisp refreshing salad - I found it to be a perfect foil to the traditional heavy Thanksgiving spread. And it was so simple to make! I did all the prep ahead of time, and simply tossed the celery and apple peices into cold water with some lemon juice to prevent browning. I would definately put this on the menu for next year.

SUNCHOKE AND APPLE SALAD



Sunchoke and Apple Salad image

In the fall, sunchokes are crunchy and watery, like a water chestnut, or like a pear that's not sweet. In this salad from executive chef Michael Anthony at New York City's Gramercy Tavern, a combination of raw and roasted sunchokes are tossed with apples, celery, shallots, pumpkin seeds and mixed greens then dressed with a sweet-tart apple cider vinaigrette.
