\"Artichoke<\/p>\n

This amazing Artichoke Hearts Salad <\/b>is my idea of the perfect dish to make for a special meal or a party, and I’m a life-long fan of artichokes! This salad has artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and capers, with finely diced red onion and sliced basil bumping up the flavors. But it’s the roasted artichoke hearts that make this salad so much of a wow.<\/p>\n

You can make the artichoke salad ahead and chill, or it can sit for hours at room temperature. That which makes it perfect for summer entertaining, but I can also imagine this salad served warm on a buffet at a holiday party.<\/p>\n

I bet this is going to disappear pretty quickly no matter who you serve it to! If you’re also enthusiastic about artichoke hearts, I hope you make it soon.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • frozen artichoke hearts or canned Artichoke Hearts packed in water<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • extra virgin Olive Oil<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper<\/li>\n
  • Roasted Red Peppers in a jar<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Capers<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • finely chopped red onion (optional)<\/li>\n
  • Basil Pesto<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • fresh-squeezed lemon juice, I used my fresh-frozen lemon juice<\/a><\/li>\n
  • White Wine Vinegar<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Dijon mustard<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Spike Seasoning<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • chopped or sliced fresh basil for garnish (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What types of artichoke hearts can you use?<\/h2>\n

    I love to use the large whole Artichoke Hearts packed in water<\/a> (affiliate link) to make this salad. But they’re a somewhat pricey ingredient and you can use cut artichoke hearts in water or frozen artichokes if you find some that are more budget friendly. I haven’t made this with marinated artichoke hearts packed in oil, and I don’t think they would be as good unless you really like the flavor of the pickled artichoke hearts.<\/p>\n

    Please don’t skip the capers in this Artichoke Heart Salad!<\/h2>\n

    One ingredient I love in this salad is capers<\/a>, and if you’re a caper fan, you might even increase the amount! Capers<\/a> are the small, buds of a plant that grows in the Mediterranean, with a lemony flavor similar to green olives, and I think they’re delicious no matter what you use them in.<\/p>\n

    How to Make Artichoke Heart Salad:<\/h2>\n

    (This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I used canned artichoke hearts packed in water but you can also use thawed frozen artichoke hearts. Drain them well in a colander.<\/li>\n
    2. Toss artichoke hearts with olive oil, salt, and fresh ground pepper while you preheat oven to 350F\/190C.<\/li>\n
    3. Then roast artichoke hearts for 20 minutes. (I wondered if this step was necessary until I smelled the artichokes as they roasted!)<\/li>\n
    4. While artichokes roast, drain roasted red pepper well in a colander placed in the sink, then dice peppers.<\/li>\n
    5. Mix together the dressing ingredients. (I’ve made this dressing with chopped fresh basil and used the food processor, but it was so easy to make it with pesto<\/a>.) <\/li>\n
    6. Assemble the finely chopped red onion (if using), diced roasted red peppers, capers, and strips of fresh basil (if using).<\/li>\n
    7. I used my Herb Scissors<\/a> (affiliate link) to make thin strips of fresh basil, which were perfect in the salad.<\/li>\n
    8. When artichokes are roasted, toss hot artichoke hearts and diced red peppers with most of the dressing mixture.<\/li>\n
    9. Add capers and chopped red onion, and more dressing as desired.<\/li>\n
    10. Then stir in the chopped or sliced basil.<\/li>\n
    11. Season the salad to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper and serve, garnishing with a bit more basil if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Make it a Low-Carb Meal:<\/h2>\n

      This tasty Artichoke Heart Salad would be great for a special meal with one of these main dishes:<\/p>\n
