How to Make Artichoke Heart And Tomato Salad

  1. Cut 1 pint of cherry or grape tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on size. Cut 1 (14 ounce) can of artichoke hearts, drained, into halves.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the prepared tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the bowl with the dressing.
  4. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are coated with the dressing.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
