Jerusalem Artichoke Salad
|
|
|
The Jerusalem artichoke, a native North American vegetable, was a favorite on Colonial tables, but it has since been practically forgotten. This is unfortunate since Jerusalem artichokes are starch-free, low in calories, and nutritious. Raw Jerusalem artichokes have qualities resembling water chestnuts and can be added to tossed salads and greens, or served with vinaigrette or creamy salad dressings. This salad goes well with pork dishes.
