TWO BEAN & ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to mingle. Serve over a bed of shredded lettuce, along with a warm pita or pita chips.
• NOTE: Due to not caring for much vinegar taste, I increase the oil to 3 Tbsp, and decrease the vinegar to 1 Tbsp and find that to be a perfect blend for us. You do what you like.

FAVA BEAN AND RAW ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the artichokes, fava beans, scallions or spring onions, olives, and dill in serving bowl.
• Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss well with the salad. Serve immediately.
• Note: To prepare artichokes the Greek way, cut away most of the stem, leaving about 1 inch of it intact. Have 1 or 2 cut lemons handy as you work with the artichokes, rubbing them on cut surfaces to prevent discoloration. Also have a bowl of acidulated water on hand. Snap off the tough outer leaves near the base. Hold the artichoke on its side on a cutting board and, using a sharp serrated knife, cut the artichoke crowns down to within 1 1/2 inches of the base. With a paring knife, trim the tough green exterior off the stem. Rub the artichoke with lemon. Using a teaspoon, thoroughly scrape away the hairy choke on the inside. Holding the artichoke on its side again, trim away any leaf stubs by going around the artichoke almost on a bias with the knife. Using a paring knife, trim the stem so that only its inner, tender core remains. Rub the artichoke with lemon and drop into acidulated water. Continue until all the artichokes are clean.

CANNELLINI BEAN AND ARTICHOKE SALAD

GREEN BEAN, ARTICHOKE AND RADICCHIO SALAD

Steps:

• Snap the tough stem ends off the green beans, then cut into 2-inch pieces or in halves. Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the green beans and boil until bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold tap water to stop the cooking and set aside.
• While the beans continue draining, slice the radicchio in half and cut out the core (the hard white part in the bottom-center). Cut each radicchio half into 2-inch pieces, separate the leaves and arrange on a large platter. Scatter the green beans over the radicchio. Drain the artichoke hearts very well, cut each in half lengthwise and arrange cut sides up over the green beans. (If making ahead, you can stop here, cover the platter and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, then proceed with Step 3 the following day.)
• Drizzle the salad with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Squeeze 1 lemon half over the salad and sprinkle with the oregano. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt, pepper or lemon as desired. Serve just like this or toss and serve.

COLD GREEN BEAN AND ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add green beans. Cook until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process, about 5 minutes. When cooled, drain well and pat dry. Set aside.
• Combine blanched green beans, tomatoes, artichokes, red onion, black olives, beans, and parsley in a large bowl.
• Whisk together balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a cup. Add olive oil in a steady stream while whisking until dressing has emulsified.
• Pour dressing over salad and finish with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. Garnish with a sprig of parsley, if desired.

ARTICHOKE & LEMON SALAD

Steps:

• Three hours before serving, put the two whole lemons into a saucepan of water with the rock salt. Place a small lid or saucer on the lemons to keep them submerged and simmer for 10 minutes until they are soft when tested with the point of a knife. Tip the lemons into a sieve and cool under the cold tap.
• Dry roast the almonds in a small frying pan until golden brown, stirring frequently to make sure they don't burn, then set aside. In a large bowl, mix the thyme with the honey, vinegar and olive oil. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon and add to the honey mixture.
• Halve the boiled lemons, then trim away all the flesh and membranes with a sharp knife and discard.Remove all the bitter white pith from the inside of the skin. Finely chop the remaining thin pieces of lemon skin and toss them into the dressing with the artichokes. Taste, adding more fresh lemon juice if too salty. Pile into a serving dish, cover and keep at cool room temperature.
• To serve: arrange the cold meat on a platter. Toss the rocket into the salad with the roasted almonds (add the nuts at the last minute so they remain crunchy) and serve in a bowl.
