❤️About Artichoke Salad

It is a popular vegetable in France and is served in most restaurants.

Many people are unsure about this beautiful vegetable and don't know how to use it.

But after you follow the directions here you will be a master!

You may find it helpful to look at this matchless guide on how to make different types of salads.

How To Prepare Artichokes

After cooking artichokes the outer leaves are usually peeled off and discarded. Although, these leaves are delicious and can be enjoyed by inserting the leaves in your mouth and simply scraping the flesh off with your teeth. Yummy!

It is also necessary for this recipe to remove the choke which is the heart of the vegetable. Just open up the leaves until the center core is reached and pull it out. It looks much nicer without the choke too.

Then the rest of the vegetable can be chopped up to prepare the salad.

The green outside of an artichoke with the outer leaves showing overlapping the one before and one cut in half showing the outer leaves the yellow fleshy leaves that are eaten and the inner choke that is discarded.

Ingredients

  • 4 green globe artichokes
  • Or a 12 oz jar of marinated artichokes
  • 6 cups 3 pints of cold water
  • 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  • thinly sliced onion optional
  • vinaigrette dressing

Dressing - Vinaigrette aux Fines Herbes

  • 2-3 tbsps cider or wine vinegar
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • black pepper
  • 3 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsps mixed fine herbs consisting of fennel chervil or parsley, tarragon, chives and 4 leaves of marjoram.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the artichokes by trimming off any sharp points at the ends of the leaves.
  • Place them in a pan with the white wine vinegar and the water.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for about half an hour, drain.

  • Place in a serving bowl.

  • How To Make Vinaigrette aux Fines Herbes.
  • Put the salt into a bowl together with a little black pepper.
  • Stir in the vinegar and continue until the salt has dissolved – this is because salt will not dissolve in oil.
  • Now add the oil, a little at a time, beating continuously until the dressing is cloudy.
  • Add the fine herbs and mix in.
  • Allow to stand for about 10 minutes, then shake again just before use.
