Very Very Tasty...Try This If You Love Artichokes! Ingredients:
2 fresh artichokes |
2 lemons |
juice of 2 lemons |
1 teaspoon of sea salt |
1 tomato, cut in chunks |
1 small cucumber, peeled and sliced |
4 leaves of romaine lettuce, washed, dried, and shredded |
1 large spring onion, trimmed, washed, sliced |
extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Trim off all but 1 inch of the artichoke stem. Trim off outer green leaves, leaving internal yellow leaves. Trim off top 1/2 to 1 inch of the leaves with needles.
2. Cut artichokes in half to reveal the choke. Cut in half again. Rub each piece with lemon. With a sharp knife, cut out choke and discard.
3. Cut artichoke into long very thin slices, place in a bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Toss to coat well.
4. Sprinkle the tomato and cucumber with salt and place in a large salad bowl. Add lettuce, spring onions, and artichoke slices, along with a little lemon juice from the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, toss, and taste.
5. If the taste is too lemony, add a little more oil. Toss in a handful of green Greek olives, and serve.
