Dirty Vegetables

Chris Cosentino, chef at Incanto restaurant, first made this salad many years ago for a demo at the farmers’ market. It was a way to make fun of some of the shoppers who were complaining that the vegetables were dirty when they bought them. What could be better than earthy root vegetables paired with the earthiness of fresh truffle?
