    Roasted Artichokes Side Dish

    Holiday salads make a perfect light starter or side dish to balance out the heavier dishes of a traditional holiday dinner. This is a light and satisfying salad, using fresh ingredients for maximum flavor!

    Plus, it is so easy to make. All you need to do is roast the artichokes and mix the fresh basil vinaigrette, then toss it all together. This festive salad, filled with deep red roasted peppers, green basil, and golden artichokes, adds a festive touch to any holiday table.

    Plus, this entire salad can be made ahead of time. I can guarantee you’re going to love this recipe! I get asked to make it every year, and I always do for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    This was an absolute HIT at our Christmas table! The tangy vinaigrette was just so uplifting to the artichokes (I made extra to use on other dishes). Will definitely make this again! Thank you for sharing!

    How to Make Basil Vinaigrette

    1. Place minced shallot, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in the bowl of your food processor fitted with a steel blade.
    2. Process for 30 seconds. Then, add chopped fresh basil leaves and process again into a green puree. With the processor running, slowly pour olive oil into the bowl through the feed tube until the ingredients are finely pureed.
    3. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until ready to use.

    Assembling the Artichoke Hearts Salad

    1. When the artichoke hearts are done roasting, place them in a serving dish and toss them with enough basil vinaigrette to coat them.
    2. Add capers, roasted red peppers, minced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes to the dish. Give it a taste and adjust with seasoning as needed. Toss everything together and serve chilled or at room temperature with additional dressing.

    First time making this. Flavors are delicious! Delish!!!

    Artichoke Hearts Salad Recipe Tips

    • I use jarred artichokes for this recipe. If you have frozen artichokes available, those are the best. However, frozen artichokes are more expensive and are sometimes difficult to find. Jarred artichokes work just fine!
    • Champagne vinegar is recommended, but you can substitute white vinegar if you have it on hand.
    • If making this recipe ahead, you can either toss the vinaigrette with the artichokes and allow it to marinade overnight or for a few days, or assemble the vinaigrette separately and toss just before serving.

    Artichokes taste like a combination of asparagus and Brussel sprouts with a mild nutty flavor. At our house, we love them!

      Do you add all of the ingredients the day before? This would include the dressing, capers, onions, etc.? Wouldn’t it be soggy by the time the meal was served the next day?

        You can absolutely make this salad up a day ahead. It keeps well and tastes even better when served the next day. This isn’t a crisp salad, so it’s not going to get soggy.
