Winter White Crunchy Salad

I made this for a Christmas eve dinner. It's a nice refreshing salad that is sure to be unlike anything anyone else brings to the table. I didn't snap a photo, so I'll have to make it again.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Pears
  • 1 4-inch spherical jicama
  • 8 large sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes)
  • 1 bulb fennel
  • ginger
  • walnut oil
  • lemon juice
  • St. Germain liqueur

Preparation:

Peel the pears and jicama. Jicama skin comes off with a tug. Cube them  into medium size dice. Best to make the pears a bit larger and the jicama a bit smaller.

Shave the fennel into 4mm slices. Too thin and it won't have enough crunch.

Peel the sunchokes. Cube into small dice. Toss everything in a large bowl with a liberal dousing of lemon juice. Add a few sprinkles of St. Germain and enough walnut oil to coat all the ingredients. Grate fresh ginger, mixing it in and tasting until you hit the right amount. Correct the lemon juice and St. Germain as needed. Serve cold.

Serves 6-8.

  1. Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net
    the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you,
    I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know about.

    You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing
    without having side-effects , people could take a signal.
    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
