Artichoke Salad image

I have seen this recipe on my favorite channel (food network) and it looked so colorful with all the veggies , that I decided to make it in the same day for my parent in laws together with Acharuli xachapuri (Georgian Cheese bread) that made a great combination. Thank God, all went well and they loved both dishes:). I made some changes in the original recipe as always and it worked pretty well. The saltiness of capers and marinated peppers and artichokes is balanced with nice chunks of fresh mozzarella and little pieces of celery give crunch and great texture to the softness of those veggies. Here it is my artichoke salad with basil pesto dressing and grilled chicken breasts.
