Artichoke Salad Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4

• 4 large fresh artichokes

• juice of 2 lemons

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 cup/125 ml extra-virgin olive oil

• freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

• 2 tbsp finely chopped mint

Method:

1. Clean the artichokes by removing all the tough outer leaves and trimming the tops and stalks.

2. Remove the fuzzy inner choke and cut into thin wedges. Soak in a bowl of cold water with the juice of 1 lemon for 10 minutes to prevent discoloring.

3. Dissolve the salt in the remaining lemon juice. Add the oil, pepper, parsley, and mint and beat vigorously with a whisk to emulsify.

4. Drain the artichokes and dry on a clean cloth. Place in a salad bowl.

5. Pour the dressing over the top and toss well. Serve immediately.
