Roasted Artichoke Salad

Roasting the artichokes and asparagus gives this salad a deliciously smoky flavor. The salty capers and tangy dressing make this salad one we can't resist!

SERVING SIZE

serves 2-4

INGREDIENTS

6-8 artichoke hearts, roasted and quartered

2 tablespoons plus ½ cup olive oil, divided

2 teaspoons sea salt, divided

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

1 bunch asparagus, chopped

1 shallot, finely minced (save some for garnish)

3 tablespoons lemon juice and zest

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

½ cup parsley, minced (save some for garnish)

¼ cup capers, drained

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut off the stem and the top inch of the artichoke. Peel off all of the outer leaves, revealing the pale, tender inner leaves. Using a melon baller or spoon, thoroughly remove the choke of the artichoke (the hairy part). Quarter each heart and place the artichoke hearts in a bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and toss until coated. Dump the artichoke hearts onto a sheet pan; roast for about 20 to 25 minutes. Rinse and cut the asparagus into 1 inch pieces and add them to the roasting artichokes half way through baking. Roast the asparagus for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender.

In a food processor or blender, add the minced shallot, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add in the parsley and pulse until well incorporated. With the processor or blender running, slowly pour in ½ cup olive oil until the ingredients are finely pureed. Set aside.

Place the roasted artichoke hearts in a bowl and toss with enough vinaigrette to moisten.

Put the artichokes and asparagus on serving dishes and sprinkle with capers, lemon zest, reserved minced shallots and parsley and crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy!
