Ina’s version features tender marinated artichoke hearts paired with leafy greens, shavings of Parmesan, and a citrus vinaigrette. The balance of briny, tangy, and savory flavors makes it a versatile salad that’s both light and satisfying.
1 (12-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
4 cups baby arugula or mixed salad greens
½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
¼ cup good olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper until fully emulsified.
Place the baby arugula or salad greens in a large serving bowl or platter.
Arrange the quartered artichoke hearts over the greens.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients lightly.
Top with shaved Parmesan and fresh herbs if using. Serve immediately.
