Gourmet salad featuring sweet pears, creamy blue cheese, and fresh Jerusalem artichokes.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 300g Jerusalem artichokes
  • 2 witlof
  • 500.00 ml firmly packed small flat-leaf parsley leaves, torn
  • 62.50 ml chopped mint leaves
  • 23.40 gm Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp sherry or red wine vinegar
  • 7.20 gm honey
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small eschalot, finely chopped
  • 2 anchovies, finely chopped
  • 30.00 ml capers, coarsely chopped
  • 4 small (very ripe) pears, washed
  • 100g blue cheese, crumbled
Instructions:
  • Combine half of the lemon juice with water in a small bowl. Peel artichokes and thinly shave them into strips using a mandolin or vegetable peeler, transferring them to the lemon water as you work.
  • Trim off the tips of the witlof by 3cm, then thinly slice the rest. Toss together in a bowl with parsley and mint.
  • In a small bowl, combine mustard, sherry, and honey. Slowly whisk in oil. Add eschalot, anchovies, and capers. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Thinly slice the pears, making sure to remove any seeds, and then gently toss them in the remaining lemon juice.
  • To serve, gently mix drained artichokes with salad ingredients and dressing. Plate the salad, top with a small mound of drained pear slices, and sprinkle with a touch of cheese.
