I was given samples of sponsored products to create recipes for our #FallFlavors event. I received no further compensation. All opinions are my own.

Pear Fennel Sunchoke Salad serves juicy D’Anjou Pears, crunchy sunchokes and fennel, smoked Gouda and sweet dried cranberries in a light Meyer lemon honey dressing. A delicious way to enjoy early fall bounty.

About Melissa’s…

“The Melissa’s/World Variety Produce Story “Delivering The Global Market” Los Angeles, California (2020) – Think tasty, creamy, tangy, aromatic, tart, sweet, crunchy and delectable. Within the 280,000 square feet of the Melissa’s/World Variety Produce, Inc. warehouse, one is sure to find the freshest fruits and vegetables — quality products with exceptional value and first-class service.

Melissa’s sent me a generous fall fruit and vegetable assortment. Including Sunchokes, D’Anjou Pears, and Meyer Lemons I used in this recipe.

If you never heard of Sunflower Chokes or sunchokes, they have the texture of a potato and are slightly sweet. You can eat them raw in salads or snacks or use as you would potatoes. Cook sunchokes and mash, add to other vegetables to roast or serve alone.

Meyer Lemons have a slightly sweet, less tart flavor. Use Meyer Lemon anywhere you enjoy adding lemon to marinades, dressings or just a squeeze to brighten any dish.

You can find out more about Melissa’s Produce on their website.
