Description
A quick and amazing Mediterranean salad featuring olives, artichokes and chickpeas. It’s a salad that keeps well, too, and gets even better the next day, so you can make it ahead of time and keep on enjoying for several days.
Ingredients
For the salad:
- 1 12-oz. jar of marinated artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes (optional)
- 1 3.8-oz. can of sliced olives, drained
- 1 15.5-oz. can of chickpeas (or 2 cups cooked)
- About 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
For the dressing:
- 1 Tablespoon artichoke marinade,
- 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1/2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon prepared mustard (I used stone ground)
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
- Juice of 1/4 lemon
Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Pour the salad ingredients into a bowl and toss to mix.
- Whisk together ingredients for the dressing. Pour over the salad and toss again.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for later, sprinkled with optional toppings if desired.
Notes
If your sun dried tomatoes are not packed in oil, soak them in some of the artichoke marinade while you are prepping the rest of the salad. This will help soften them.
For the celery, choose a couple of the larger inner stalks, rather than the outermost stalks. These stalks have good crunch, but a little milder flavor.
