• Boil the sunchokes, keeping them a little crispy, about 10 minutes.
• Add the lemon essential oil to olive oil to mix it up.
• In a large serving bowl add all the ingredient together and toss well.
• I usually use a bowl with a lid so I can make it the night before and shake the bowl
• upside down and right side up so the dressing coats the vegetables.
