Artichoke hearts and tomato, rocket salad, marinated in a balsamic dressing. This dish takes a matter of minutes to assemble.
I use a jar of pre grilled and marinated artichokes hearts in olive oil (available at most supermarkets in the tapas or deli sections). Simply drain the hearts and slice them from the root to the top in the slithers and add to a salad bowl.
Next chop the cherry tomatoes in half and add to the bowl.
Finely slice a small red onion and add to the bowls.
add a handful of rocket leaves to the bowl and stir throughly.
If you have any, add 2 tablespoons of pitted sliced black olives. (it was one thing I didn’t have in thecupboard)
Dress the salad with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and mix, taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference (maybe more vinegar, a touch of pepper)
