Print Recipe

A quick, vibrant, and gut-friendly salad packed with prebiotic fiber from Jerusalem artichokes, sauerkraut, and fresh veggies. Perfect for a light lunch or side dish that supports digestion and overall gut health.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Jerusalem artichokes, thinly sliced
  • 1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced (optional substitute with celery root)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 small apple, julienned
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons toasted walnuts or pecans
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Using a sharp knife or mandoline, thinly slice the Jerusalem artichokes and fennel bulb. Julienne the carrot and apple, and finely shred the red cabbage. Drain the sauerkraut in a fine mesh sieve to remove excess liquid.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared vegetables and the drained sauerkraut. Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Sprinkle the toasted nuts and fresh herbs on top just before serving.
  5. Optional: Let the salad rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to marry and soften sharper edges.

Notes

If Jerusalem artichokes are tough, blanch them for 30 seconds in boiling water then shock in ice water before slicing. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup. For nut-free, omit nuts or use roasted pumpkin seeds. Keep dressing separate if prepping ahead to maintain crunch.
