Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lemons
3 medium artichokes
3 cups whole milk
5 cups water, plus more for bowl and pan
1 pound each white and green asparagus, cut into 5-inch spears, trimmed and peeled
2 cups dry white wine
2 pounds fresh fava bean pods, shelled (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup fresh mint
3 ounces ricotta salata cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 scallion, green part only
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the salad: Juice 1 lemon into a large bowl filled with water. Remove tough outer leaves of artichokes, cut off top two-thirds, and scoop out fuzzy chokes with a spoon; discard. Cut each in half, transferring to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.
  • Bring milk, 3 cups water, and white asparagus to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tender, skimming foam, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; let drain and cool.
  • Bring prepared artichokes, wine, remaining lemon (squeezed, with rind), and remaining 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 13 to 16 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer artichokes to a paper-towel-lined plate; let drain and cool. Discard lemon.
  • Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a large saute pan of water to a boil. Add green asparagus, and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, and let cool; reserve cooking liquid. Drain asparagus on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add fava beans to boiling cooking liquid, and cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, let cool, then squeeze beans from skins. Divide beans and vegetables among 8 plates. Sprinkle with mint and ricotta salata.
  • Make the dressing: Puree all the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Drizzle over salads, and serve.

ARTICHOKE SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS



Artichoke Salad with Asparagus image

If you like to attempt to WOW people with presentation this is about the easiest and most jaw dropping salad I have ever presented.

Provided by Dave Mathews

Categories     Other Salads

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large artichokes
24 asparagus spears
ARTICHOKE SALAD
1 can(s) artichoke hearts, canned, quartered
2 Tbsp crimini mushrooms, quartered
1/2 can(s) black olives, pitted
1 Tbsp parsley, italian, chopped
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oragano
2 clove garlic, minced fine
2 Tbsp mayonaise

Steps:

  • 1. Blanch the Asparagus spears till not quite tender. Refrigerate. Prepare the artichokes by peeling off the bottom leaves. Cut off the stem flat at the bottom of the artichoke so it will sit flat. With a large serrated knife cut the artichoke top off so the center opening is about 1/2 the size of the artichoke. Using a spoon dig out the fuzzy stuff in the center so that the choke in the bottom is clean. You will have to lose some of the choke but it can't be helped. Squirt the insides of the chokes and the top of the leaves with lemon juice to keep them from turning dark.
  • 2. Steam the artichokes top down for 20 minutes or until a test leaf pulls easily away. Dunk the artichokes in cold water to stop the cooking process. Remove from water and place top down on a plate with paper towels in the refrigerator for at least an hour. You want these cold and dry.
  • 3. Prepare elbow macaroni el dente. Drain and chill. Drain the marinated artichokes and add all salad ingredients to a large bowl. Mix thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
  • 4. When all ingredients are chilled stuff the artichokes with the salad mixture and top with 5 asparagus spears. Serve with a ramakin of melted butter for dipping the artichoke leaves and the choke. Put a big fancy bowl in the center of the table for leaves and be sure to have a big stack of napkins available.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality artichokes and asparagus. Look for artichokes that are firm and heavy, with tightly closed leaves. Asparagus should be bright green and have firm tips.
  • Prepare the artichokes properly. To remove the choke, use a sharp knife to cut off the top inch of the artichoke. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center.
  • Blanch the asparagus. Blanching helps to preserve the asparagus's color and nutrients. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and chives, add a delicious flavor to the salad. Use whatever herbs you have on hand, or experiment with different combinations.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A light vinaigrette dressing is all that is needed to enhance the flavors of the artichokes and asparagus. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

This artichoke and asparagus salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for spring and summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The combination of artichokes, asparagus, and fresh herbs is both flavorful and refreshing.
