Roasted Artichoke Salad
Servings: 2
Calories: 140kcal
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce can artichoke hearts drained
- 1 small-medium leek
- juice 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
- fresh ground pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use cooking spray. Set aside.
-
Take leek and chop off all but 1" of the very green top. Freeze top for later use or vegetable stock. Slice the remaining leek in long thin strips (or any thin slice is fine). Wash thoroughly. Lay washed strips on the baking sheet, leaving space for the artichokes.
-
Next to the leeks lay artichokes on the baking sheet so they are spaced out from one another. Roast artichokes and leeks for 30 minutes.
-
While vegetables are roasting whisk lemon juice, dijon, balsamic vinegar and olive oil into a small mixing bowl and set aside.
-
After 30 minutes take vegetables out of the oven and toss them into the bowl with the dressing while they are still warm. Divide mixture onto two serving plates and garnish with fresh thyme and grated parmesan and pepper.
