Prep Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 1 teaspoon coarse mustard
- 1 teaspoon capers, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound Jerusalem artichokes, thoroughly scrubbed
- 1 large carrot, peeled
- 6 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayo, coarse mustard, finely chopped capers, white wine vinegar, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Ensure the dressing is well combined.
- Prep the Jerusalem Artichokes: Using a knife, peel the Jerusalem artichokes and immediately cut them into matchstick-sized pieces. Add these to the dressing as you go to prevent them from browning. Stir the artichokes to ensure they are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Matchstick Carrots: Cut the large carrot into matchstick-sized pieces of the same size as the artichokes. Add these carrot matchsticks to the dressing as well.
- Add Fresh Parsley: Toss in the roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley and mix everything thoroughly. The fresh parsley adds a burst of color and flavor.
- Chill and Serve: Allow the coleslaw to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a deliciously refreshing coleslaw.

Cooking Tips:
- Jerusalem artichokes are prone to browning when exposed to air, so adding them directly to the dressing as you cut them helps maintain their freshness.
- Adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
