ARTICHOKE AND RICE SALAD



Artichoke and Rice Salad image

Inspired by a 1960s classic, this side dish calls for Arborio rather than conventional rice, resulting in a chewy and creamy texture.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
12 small green olives, pitted and sliced
12 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, cut into 1/2-inch wedges, liquid reserved
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced on a bias
1/2 ounce baby spinach (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring stock to a simmer. Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent. Add rice, salt, and curry powder. Cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Raise heat, and add half the stock. Stir 30 seconds. Stir in remaining stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook 20 minutes.
  • Spread rice onto a rimmed baking sheet. Let cool. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Combine olives, artichoke hearts, and celery in a large bowl. Add rice, and toss. Add 1 tablespoon reserved artichoke liquid, and toss. (Salad can be made up to this point and refrigerated overnight.)
  • Before serving, stir in spinach. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. It will add a rich, fruity flavor to the salad.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will be mushy and ruin the texture of the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The salad is best served cold, so make sure to chill it for at least an hour before serving.

Conclusion:

This Tracy's Tomato Artichoke Rice Salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is also very easy to make.
