  • 2 scallions, diced (white and green parts)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dressing:
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar artichoke hearts (packed in oil)

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon white wine or champagne vinegar
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste (go easy)
  • Pepper to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dressing ... Add the lemon juice, vinegar, red pepper flakes and a pinch of both salt and pepper to the blender. Blend to mix; then, slowly add the oil to the blender to emulsify (or to make it creamy). The last minute, add 2-4 of the artichokes and pulse to get a smooth consistency. This will give the dressing a nice creamy texture.

  • Step 2: Salad ... First, add the greens to a large bowl along with a bit of the dressing, just enough to coat. Then transfer to a serving platter. Then fine chop the remaining artichokes and add to a small bowl along with the olives, cucumbers, scallions, and a pinch of both salt and pepper - and toss to combine. Add the olive cucumber topping to the top of the salad and finish with a bit more of the dressing. ENJOY!

  • Step 3: This dressing can be served with any of your favorite greens.
