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.

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 sunchokes
Olive oil to coat the sunchokes
4 apples, sliced
2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds
Mixed greens: radicchio, bok choy, mizuna, celery leaves
1/2 cup celery, minced
1 tablespoon shallot, minced
1 cup apple cider
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare the sunchokes. Wash sunchokes with the skin on. Slice 2 sunchokes, raw, into thin strips using a mandoline; set aside. Roast the remaining sunchokes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place them in a pan with olive oil, and roast for about 40 minutes.
  • Toss the hot sunchokes with the remaining salad ingredients.
  • Prepare the cider vinaigrette by combining all the vinaigrette ingredients; dress the salad and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with raw sunchoke slices.

I'm looking forward to trying this salad with different types of apples. I think a Granny Smith apple would be a nice tart addition.

I would definitely make this salad again. I think it would be even better with some crumbled goat cheese on top.

The salad was easy to make, but it took a little longer than I expected. The sunchokes took about 20 minutes to roast.

I had a hard time finding sunchokes at my local grocery store. I ended up having to order them online.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a more tart dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of sunchokes, but I really enjoyed this salad. The apples and dressing helped to balance out the flavor of the sunchokes.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover sunchokes. I had some roasted sunchokes from dinner the night before, and they worked perfectly in this salad.

This sunchoke and apple salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of sweet apples, crunchy sunchokes, and tangy dressing was simply irresistible. I especially loved the addition of walnuts, which added a nice nutty flavor and texture.
