Roasted Artichoke Salad



We had dinner guests tonight: AC and L, two of our nieces, are spending the night. We had Creamy Chicken and Noodles (very kid friendly) and this salad. The cost of the salad is about $2.50 per serving.

Roasted Artichoke Salad
2 (9-oz.) boxes frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Juice from 1 1/2 lemons
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp. dried basil
1 jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 Tbsp. capers, drained
Crumbled feta cheese

1. Place artichoke hearts in an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, stir together lemon juice and next 3 ingredients. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil until thoroughly combined.
4. Toss together artichoke hearts, red peppers, and capers. Pour half of dressing over vegetables; reserve the remaining dressing for salads later in the week. Toss to combine; sprinkle with feta. Serve warm or cold.
