Steps:
- Squeeze the lemons into a bowl and add 2 cups of water.

Tip the lemons into a sieve and cool under the cold tap.
- Dry roast the almonds in a small frying pan until golden brown, stirring frequently to make sure they don't burn, then set aside. In a large bowl, mix the thyme with the honey, vinegar and olive oil. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon and add to the honey mixture.
- Halve the boiled lemons, then trim away all the flesh and membranes with a sharp knife and discard.Remove all the bitter white pith from the inside of the skin. Finely chop the remaining thin pieces of lemon skin and toss them into the dressing with the artichokes. Taste, adding more fresh lemon juice if too salty. Pile into a serving dish, cover and keep at cool room temperature.
- To serve: arrange the cold meat on a platter. Toss the rocket into the salad with the roasted almonds (add the nuts at the last minute so they remain crunchy) and serve in a bowl.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Artichokes: Fresh artichokes are best for this salad, as they have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen artichokes.
- Prep Artichokes Properly: To prepare artichokes, remove the tough outer leaves and trim the stem. Then, cut the artichoke in half lengthwise and scoop out the fuzzy choke.
- Cook Artichokes Thoroughly: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked artichokes will become mushy.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: In addition to artichokes, this salad can be made with a variety of other vegetables, such as roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, or grilled zucchini.
- Choose a Good Dressing: The dressing is an important part of this salad, so choose one that you enjoy. A simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing made with Greek yogurt are both good options.
Conclusion:
This artichoke salad is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at your table. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this salad at home. So next time you are looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
