Ingredients for Artichoke And Spinach Salad

  • Fresh Spinach
  • Salad Oil
  • Garlic Flavored Vinegar
  • Artichoke Hearts
  • Roquefort Cheese

How to Make Artichoke And Spinach Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Cut 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts into quarters. Add the artichoke hearts and 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the can to the vinaigrette.
  3. Gently toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend.
  4. Wash 5 ounces of fresh spinach thoroughly. Remove tough stems and tear into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Just before serving, gently toss the spinach with the marinated artichoke hearts and dressing.
  6. Serve immediately. This dressing also pairs wonderfully with other salad greens like romaine lettuce or mixed greens.

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!
