Provided by Dani Spies

Categories     DINNER     LUNCH     salad + dressing

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound green beans (trimmed (1/2 pound))
1 bunch of asparagus (trimmed)
1 15- ounce can of quartered artichoke hearts (drained)
1/4 cup of chopped red onion
1 fat cloves of crushed garlic
10 leaves of basil (rolled and sliced into ribbons)
The juice of one lemon (3 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine artichoke hearts, onions, garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper. Gently toss everything together and set aside.
  • Cut green beans and asparagus into one inch pieces.
  • In a medium steaming pot, steam the green beans and asparagus until al dente. This will take two to three minutes. We want to get the raw edge off of the veggies, but still want them to have lots of texture and bite.
  • Gently toss the hot veggies into the bowl with the artichoke hearts, onions, garlic, lemon, and olive oil. Add a little more salt and pepper to taste and then finish with the fresh sliced basil.
  • Serve and enjoy!

GREEN BEAN, ARTICHOKE AND RADICCHIO SALAD



Green Bean, Artichoke and Radicchio Salad image

Snappy cooked green beans make for a gorgeous salad with radicchio and canned artichokes. Beyond the vegetables, all you need for this refreshing zinger of a side dish is a generous glug of olive oil, a heavy hand with salt and pepper, and an electric spritz of lemon. A sprinkle of dried oregano on top lends bottled Italian dressing vibes, but with a homemade taste. This is an excellent addition to Thanksgiving, as it lets you feed two birds with one scone: You get a green bean moment and a salad moment all at once. To prepare this in advance, assemble everything through Step 2, keep it covered in the refrigerator, then on Thanksgiving Day, proceed with the dressing.

Provided by Eric Kim

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces green beans
Salt
1 head radicchio
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, halved
Pinch of dried oregano

Steps:

  • Snap the tough stem ends off the green beans, then cut into 2-inch pieces or in halves. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the green beans and boil until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold tap water to stop the cooking and set aside.
  • While the beans continue draining, slice the radicchio in half and cut out the core (the hard white part in the bottom-center). Cut each radicchio half into 2-inch pieces, separate the leaves and arrange on a large platter. Scatter the green beans over the radicchio. Drain the artichoke hearts very well, cut each in half lengthwise and arrange cut sides up over the green beans. (If making ahead, you can stop here, cover the platter and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then proceed with Step 3 the following day.)
  • Drizzle the salad with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Squeeze 1 lemon half over the salad and sprinkle with the oregano. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper or lemon as desired. Serve just like this or toss and serve.

Tips:

  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the green beans and artichokes according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the cooked vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, combine the vegetables with the remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
  • If you don't have a steamer, you can boil the green beans and artichokes in a large pot of boiling water. Just be sure to reduce the cooking time by a few minutes, as boiling will cook the vegetables more quickly than steaming.
  • This salad is also a great way to use up leftover grilled vegetables. Simply grill your favorite vegetables and then add them to the salad.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat.
