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.

This fennel salad is a favorite of my wife's. Preserved lemon may be difficult to find, but the salad is still delicious without it. -Jason Purkey, Ocean City, Maryland
