how to cook artichokes

(Serves 4 to 6)

This is a delectable and savory salad that has just the right balance of lemon, dill and tang from the artichoke hearts and olives. Serve this to rave reviews!

Dressing:

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil (depends on how juicy your lemon is!)

Salad:

  • 1 head leaf lettuce (also nice with mixed greens)
  • 1 jar (6 ounce) marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 5 ounces ripe Kalamata olives, pitted
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Croutons

In a small bowl or jar with a lid, whisk together the lemon juice, dill weed and olive oil until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.

Tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Cut artichoke hearts into quarters and slice olives in half. Toss lettuce, artichoke hearts, olives, Parmesan cheese and croutons with salad dressing.

Make ahead: Dressing can be made several days ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.
