How to Make Aunt Rose S Rice Artichoke Salad

  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice, 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts (drained and chopped), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and gently toss to combine.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad tastes even better the next day!
  6. Serve chilled in crisp lettuce cups or in a bowl. Garnish with extra parsley and feta cheese, if desired.

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.
