SERVING SIZE

serves 4-6

INGREDIENTS

2 lemons, divided

1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced

6 sunchokes, peeled and thinly sliced

2 gala apples, cored and thinly sliced

2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, cored and thinly sliced (reserve tops)

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons chives, chopped (plus more for garnish)

½ teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced

2 tablespoons fennel fronds, chopped

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Fill a medium bowl with water and ice. Cut one lemon in half and squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl, then place the two halves into the bowl. Set aside.

Prepare the radishes, sunchokes, apples and fennel and put them in the acidulated ice water while you work.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, chives, ginger and fennel fronds to make the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain the radish mixture, then add the radishes, sunchokes, apples and fennel to the dressing.  Toss well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day, to allow the flavors to come together.

Garnish with more chives and lemon zest if desired.
