ITALIAN WHITE BEAN AND ARTICHOKE SALAD



Italian White Bean and Artichoke Salad image

I am sure this came from one of the cooking magazines, but no longer know which one ! I have made this several times for groups of from 4-14, and given as many copies to attending guests. Hints : this is rather labor-intensive, so slice and chop early in the day, keeping each ingredient in a separate baggy. You may use red an/or/green peppers, and choice of Asiago, sharp provolone, or feta cheese. The original recipe called for canned artichoke hearts, drained and quartered, but I have found that the marinated are already quartered, more tender, and less fibrous.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pasta salad shine. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp green beans, and tender artichoke hearts.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the perfect texture for a pasta salad. Cook it according to the package directions, then drain and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a flavorful vinaigrette before adding them to the salad will help them absorb all the delicious flavors.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: A colorful and texturally interesting pasta salad is more appealing to the eye and the palate. Add a variety of vegetables, herbs, and cheeses to create a salad that's both visually appealing and delicious.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can always add more dressing, but it's hard to take it out once it's been added.
