Clean the button mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems and cut the mushrooms in half, or into quarters if they are large.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the mushrooms and blanch them for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
While the mushrooms are cooling, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
Combine the blanched mushrooms and drained, quartered artichoke hearts in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the vinaigrette over the mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed with additional salt or lemon juice.
Serve chilled as a side dish or an appetizer. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
