Description

A romantic and fragrant summer salad featuring crispy fried Jerusalem artichokes, fresh rose petals, and a spicy-sweet dressing.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 400 g (14 oz) Jerusalem Artichoke
  • 200 g (7 oz) cauliflower, shredded
  • 80 g (1 oz) mixed salad (rucola, spinach, iceberg, romaine - tossed together)
  • 1 fistful rose petals (Nevado Roses USDA Organic Edible Roses)
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 50 g (1.75 oz) raisins
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 red chili, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Peel the Jerusalem artichokes and dice them into small cubes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced artichokes and fry until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In a small pot, combine the raisins, grated ginger, chopped chili, diced tomatoes, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded cauliflower, mixed salad greens, and rose petals.
  5. Drizzle the cooled dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Top the salad with the crispy fried artichokes and serve immediately.

Notes

Use only organic edible rose petals to ensure they are safe for consumption. This salad pairs beautifully with a chilled rosé wine. Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The fried artichokes are best served immediately to maintain their crispiness.
