Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Soak the beans overnight in water to cover. Drain, cover with fresh cold water and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until tender (about 20 minutes more).
- Combine the mustard, crushed garlic (mashing it into the mustard with a fork), vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix well. Remove the garlic cloves and pour the mixture over the beans while they are still warm. Add the tomatoes, toss and set aside.
- Meanwhile, trim the outer leaves from the artichokes. Cut off the stalks and slice off the tops, two-thirds down horizontally. Squeeze the lemon half into a bowl of cold water large enough to hold the artichokes. Cut the artichokes into thin slices vertically. Add them to the water as you trim them, to stop them from turning brown.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Dry the artichoke slices in a salad spinner or with a kitchen towel. Add the artichokes and saute, turning from time to time until golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Cook the shrimp. Bring the wine, stock, bouquet garni, onion and salt and pepper to boil. Add the shrimp and cook for one to two minutes. Do not overcook them or they will be mushy. Cool, peel and chop them in half-inch pieces. Add to the beans and toss. Correct seasoning.
- To serve, place the mixture in a shallow dish and arrange the artichokes in a circle around the edges. Sprinkle with chives.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the taste of your salad. Opt for fresh, plump shrimp and firm, crisp white beans. Fresh herbs and vegetables add a vibrant flavor, so use them whenever possible.
- Properly Cook the Shrimp: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. You can use various cooking methods like boiling, steaming, or grilling, depending on your preference.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just a few vegetables. Experiment with different types to add color, texture, and flavor to your salad. Some great options include bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and radishes.
- Make Your Own Dressing: Store-bought dressings are often loaded with unhealthy fats, sugar, and preservatives. Making your own dressing allows you to control the ingredients and customize it to your taste. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs is a great option.
- Don't Overdress the Salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other ingredients and make the salad soggy. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving and toss gently to coat.
