Provided by sofie-a-toast

Categories     Artichoke

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ripe medium tomatoes
8 canned artichoke hearts (not marinated)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, pressed (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (or a 1/4 tsp dried)
1 tablespoon fresh basil (or 1/4 tsp dried)
2 tablespoons feta cheese
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Cut each tomato into 6 wedges and each artichoke into halves.
  • Blend the rest of the ingredients and pour over the vegetables. Toss.
  • Chill for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients: Look for artichokes with tightly closed leaves and no blemishes. Romaine lettuce should be crisp and green, and cherry tomatoes should be ripe and red.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly: To clean the artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves and trim the stem. Use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center. You can also blanch the artichokes in boiling water for a few minutes to soften them.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs is a great option for this salad. You can also add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad: When assembling the salad, be sure to leave some space between the ingredients so that they can all be evenly coated with dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The artichokes and romaine lettuce will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Artichoke, romaine, and cherry tomato salad is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables and a flavorful dressing. With a few simple tips, you can make this salad at home and enjoy it with your family and friends.
