This artichoke salad with fresh tomatoes (Short Girl, Tall Order) is a lovely fresh salad using seasonal produce, that’s very easy to make. Inspired by Tuscany in Italy, it’s made with cherry tomatoes, onion, artichoke hearts, tinned chickpeas, capers and homemade dressing.
Read up on food safety for people and pets. Bin onion scraps, as acid can harm compost creatures.
Just mix all the chopped ingredients and marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge, before serving.
Capers are popular in Italy, they are kind of pickled flower buds that give a tangy salty flavour to recipes. Also served with pasta, they kind of taste like pickled olives.
This recipe makes a homemade dressing. If you prefer to simplify things with ready-made salad dressing, we like A Little Bit (made in Kent, these dressings are all vegan-friendly and include a fresh parsley dressing with red onion, which would suit this salad perfectly).
