Indulge in the earthy delights of Jerusalem artichoke and arugula salad, a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. This unique salad features roasted Jerusalem artichokes, adding a nutty and subtly sweet flavor, complemented by the peppery bite of arugula. Crisp Parmesan shavings lend a touch of umami and salty richness, while a tangy lemon-tahini dressing brings it all together. This exquisite salad is a celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients and is sure to impress your guests.
In addition to the main recipe, the article also includes variations to cater to different dietary preferences. For a vegan option, the Parmesan cheese can be omitted, and a drizzle of olive oil can be used instead of the tahini dressing.

For those who prefer a creamy dressing, a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard can be used instead of the tahini dressing.

RAW ARTICHOKE AND PARMIGIANO SALAD
Steps:
- Set up a bowl of acidulated water: break the vitamin C capsules into a large bowl of water and squeeze in the juice from 2 of the lemons. Toss in the 4 halves of the squeezed lemon as well. Artichokes will turn brown (oxidize) before your eyes so you must, must, must set up this bowl of acidulated water first!
- Working with 1 artichoke at a time, peel off the tough green outer leaves to reveal the spring green color underneath. Trim off the tough outer layer of the stem and any brown spots. Cut the tip of the choke off. Artichokes have a lot of waste, accept it and move on. Very carefully, using a mandoline, very thin shave the artichokes and put them immediately into the lemon water. The artichokes are best when done at least a couple of hours ahead because they tenderize a little.
- To assemble the salad:
- Put the artichokes in a salad spinner to remove they excess water. Put the artichokes, arugula and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a large serving bowl. Dress with the juice of the remaining lemon, finishing oil and salt, to taste. The salad should be well-dressed and full flavored but not soggy.
- Serve immediately.
- It's spring on a plate!

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES WITH PARMESAN
If you have ever planted Jerusalem Artichokes in your garden you know they keep coming back. If you don't know what they are,they are the root of a plant that is in the sunflower family and can be eaten raw (in a salad), sauted, steamed, mashed, broiled etc. They have a nice mild taste. I find they need a little lift of flavor from something like garlic, cheese or hot sauce

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN
Emulsifying a dressing isn't essential for a sublime salad: Instead, think of the oil and acid as seasonings for a vegetable. For this recipe, that's spicy arugula, dressed with olive oil, lemon and shards of Parmesan to create a salad classic in many Italian restaurants and homes. But whether olive oil or lemon should come first, like all seemingly simple questions, is complicated. James Beard, Marcella Hazan, Deborah Madison and Judy Rodgers all concurred: For a brighter-tasting salad, start with olive oil, which better adheres the liquids to the greens and doesn't obscure the lemon. Be sure to use full-flavored greens, then taste the dressed leaves and adjust seasonings until the arugula tastes like its greatest self.

Steps:
- Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
- Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.
Tips:
- Select firm and plump Jerusalem artichokes: Avoid any that are bruised or have signs of sprouting.
- Scrub the Jerusalem artichokes thoroughly: Use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris.
- Slice the Jerusalem artichokes thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Sauté the Jerusalem artichokes until golden brown: This will bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overpower the delicate flavor of the Jerusalem artichokes.
- Serve the salad immediately: The Jerusalem artichokes are best when they are still warm.
Conclusion:
This Jerusalem artichoke and arugula salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this unique vegetable. The Jerusalem artichokes are roasted until caramelized, then tossed with arugula, Parmesan cheese, and a tangy dressing. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up any leftover Jerusalem artichokes.
