Artichokes are such a delightful ingredient for a fresh salad. Start by steaming or boiling them until tender. Then let them cool. Once they’re ready, slice them into quarters and toss them in a bowl. The star of this dish is the dressing. Mix together freshlysqueezed lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a generous handful of grated parmesan. This combination adds a zesty brightness that perfectly complent the earthy flavor of the artichokes. Now, for some extra crunch, throw in some toasted pine nuts and a handful of arugula. The peppery notes of arugula balance beautifully with the richness of the cheese. Give everything a gentle toss and you’ve got a salad that’s not only vibrant, but also packed with flavor. Serve it chilled or at room temperature and enjoy a taste of the Mediterranean right at your table.
