Warm salad with Jerusalem artichoke
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. Jerusalem artichoke is still an unfamiliar ingredient in our region, which is a pity—this vegetable is not only healthy but also very tasty. It's slightly similar to an artichoke, but in fact it's unique and unlike anything else. Many people have no idea what to cook when they get their hands on Jerusalem artichoke. In such cases, I recommend this simple warm salad. Easy and delicious. The salad is ready to serve.

Step 1
First, prepare the Jerusalem artichoke. Wash, peel, and cut into wedges, like French fries. Immediately place the cut Jerusalem artichoke into a bowl of water with lemon juice—otherwise the vegetable will turn black.
