Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 oz each) Canned artichoke hearts
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.75 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned artichoke hearts and rinse them in cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and cut each heart into quarters.
Halve the cherry tomatoes. If using larger tomatoes, cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, then slice it in half lengthwise and cut into thin half-moons.
Thinly slice the red onion into small strips.
Pit the Kalamata olives and slice them in half.
Core and dice the red bell pepper into small pieces.
Crumble the feta cheese into a large mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Combine artichokes, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, bell pepper, feta cheese, and parsley in a large salad bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad. Toss everything gently to combine evenly without breaking the artichoke hearts.
Serve the salad immediately for a crisp texture. Optionally, chill for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld.
Enjoy your nut-free Mediterranean artichoke salad as a refreshing side or a light main dish!
