Sunchoke Salad With Orange Zest
Here is one vegan salad dish that is simple and delicious. Sun chokes (also known as Jerusalem artichokes), are a root vegetable, the plant looks similar to a sunflower growing a tasty root that can be used in many dishes. The root resembles ginger root, but has a sweet nutty flavor that might be compared to water chestnuts. Sunchokes are not widely used but are rich in inulin, a carbohydrate linked with good intestinal heath.
