Why you will love this recipe

Are you sick of boring salads? Look no further. All the flavors of the mediterranean are bursting out of this amazing salad!

This artichoke salad is based on a recipe that my mother-in-law always made for special occasion like Christmas or Easter. And everyone loves it! We particularly enjoy this salad paired with baked Italian chicken thighs. So yummy!

Plus, just like my Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad and my Fried Meatballs, this artichoke salad make a delicious light lunch accompanied with some crusty bread like Ligurian focaccia.

Ingredient notes

Don't you just hate seeing a great recipe only to find that the ingredients are as scarce as hen's teeth? I do! I live in a small regional area and it's hard to track down unusual ingredients. But it's not going to happen with this recipe! Nope, all you need is a few fresh vegetables, some easy to find additions and of course, the star of the show artichokes. In this case, I use canned artichokes. All you need is:-

• canned artichokes
• canned tuna
• red bell peppers (red capsicum)
• Lebanese cucumber
• red onion
• parsley
• black olive
• capers

Instructions

Prepare all the ingredients that need chopping or slicing.

1. Whisk together dressing ingredients.
2. Combine all ingredient for salad.
3. Pour over dressing and stir to combine.

Tips for success and FAQs

Have all the ingredients chopped and sliced. Prepare the dressing and set aside. But for optimum freshness, add the dressing just prior to serving.

Artichoke Salad is quickly and easily made with readily available ingredients or serve it as part of a feast. Either way, I know you'll love it!

Notes

If you can get your hands on some fresh artichokes by all means you can use them in this salad! I never would because here in my part of the world I have to pay at least $2 per artichoke and then throw away all the tough leaves and other bits. But if you want to just google "how to prepare artichokes". There are some good tutorials around.
