Jerusalem Artichoke and Marron Salad

This simple salad uses one of my favourite autumn vegetables, Jerusalem artichokes. These tubers are related to sunflowers, but have a flavour that is incredibly similar to artichokes. As the much loved fruits of summer give way to the vegetables of autumn and winter it is a terrific time to make salads from produce other than lettuce. The array is never-ending: fennel, artichoke, broad beans, celeriac and baby leeks - it just keeps on coming.
