How to Make Antipasto Seafood Salad

- Combine 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms and 1 cup thinly sliced cucumbers in a medium bowl.
- Drain one (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved artichoke liquid, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the vinaigrette over the mushrooms and cucumbers; toss to coat.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Drain any excess marinade from the vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
