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.

12 sunchokes
Olive oil to coat the sunchokes

2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
Mixed greens: radicchio, bok choy, mizuna, celery leaves
1/2 cup celery, minced
