Jerusalem artichoke salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. It's impossible to even imagine how beneficial Jerusalem artichoke is, especially a salad made from it. Few vegetables can match the sunroot (another name for Jerusalem artichoke) in terms of the quantity and quality of its health benefits. Therefore, Jerusalem artichoke is a vegetable you should definitely grow in your garden (if you have one) or buy at markets or stores. It's best to prepare it not as a cooked dish (heat destroys its beneficial properties) but as a raw salad. The recipe for Jerusalem artichoke salad is below. The result is not only fantastically healthy but also very tasty and fresh—a vegetable salad I personally love and usually eat for breakfast. By the way, a small amount of grated Jerusalem artichoke can also be used as a highly effective anti-wrinkle face mask. Read on and serve.
