Delicious Artichoke Hearts Salad
We always think artichokes are used mostly for stuffing, like our favorite stuffed artichokes or our new stuffed artichoke bottoms (Trader Joe’s). But we never thought of using frozen artichoke hearts to make a quick and healthy salad like this one.
Deliciously tasty and simple, this artichoke salad is made with frozen artichoke hearts, plus 6 additional ingredients. There’s no mayo, so it’s completely dairy-free!
Therefore, this artichoke heart salad is an ideal warm-weather dish, perfect for picnics, outdoor summer barbecues, and casual entertaining.
Simple Italian salads like this one are commonly served in local bars throughout Italy. This artichoke heart salad is typically enjoyed as an appetizer, often paired with a refreshing glass of Aperol Spritz. At home, we love serving it as part of a charcuterie board alongside a selection of cheeses, nuts, and marinated olives.

How To Make Delicious Artichoke Hearts Salad?
For this recipe, there are a few steps to follow to flavor the frozen artichokes. So, let’s run through these steps so you will understand what’s involved before you start.
First step, we need to flavor the chokes. Frozen artichoke hearts are quickly sautéed with olive oil, white wine, and some garlic. NOTE: No need to defrost the chokes either, just open the package and toss them into the pot or skillet.
Step 2: Then, transfer them to a mixing bowl. Toss them with a simple lemon and extra virgin olive oil, and chill for at least 30 minutes or more to marinate the chokes.
The longer they marinate, the better tasting they become. Taste and season with salt and red pepper flakes to your liking. Best of all, you can serve them chilled or at room temperature.

This sounds wonderful! A perfect way to serve artichokes on a hot summer night (or day)!
Thanks so much, Susan! 🙂 Have a great week!
I love the combination of garlic and white wine, but it’s the addition of mint that seems really interesting.
