Ingredients
 
 

Salad Ingredients

  • 4 medium-sized artichokes trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil high quality
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 cup baby arugula washed and dried
  • ½ cup radicchio sliced thinly
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese shaved

Dressing Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon honey or alternative sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil high-quality

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the halved artichokes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring they're well-coated.
  • Place the artichokes cut-side down on the hot grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they're tender and have beautiful char marks.
  • While the artichokes are grilling, prepare the dressing by whisking together lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
  • Slowly add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the dressing, whisking continuously until emulsified.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss together the grilled artichokes, baby arugula, radicchio, and shaved Parmesan cheese.
  • Drizzle the salad with the dressing, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly.

Notes

For a smoky twist, use a splash of smoked sea salt to enhance the charred notes of the artichokes. If radicchio is unavailable, substitute with other bitter greens like endive or chicory.
