• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 artichokes (about 2 pounds)
• 1 lemon, halved crosswise
• 4 oranges
• 6 radishes, thinly sliced
• 12 kalamata olives
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sweet paprika
• salt, to taste

directions

1. Fill a large pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the artichokes and half of the lemon to the pan. Cover and cook the artichokes until they are barely tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. When artichokes are cool enough to handle pull off the leaves and cut out the fuzzy chokes. Slice the hearts into bite size wedges and squeeze the other half of lemon over the hearts, set aside. Peel and section the oranges discarding the seeds and white pith in a large bowl.
3. When ready to serve, alternate orange sections and artichoke wedges on individual plates. Garnish with radish slices, olives and a mixture of the olive oil and lemon juice that will be drizzled over the salad. Sprinkle with paprika and salt, serve immediately.

I was surprised how much I liked this - I had my doubts about the orange slices, but everything went so well together! I used one artichoke heart and 1 orange for 2 of us and served it on spinach, as someone else mentioned. Made for SWT2019

I made this with marinated artichoke hearts. Served on a bed of shredded spinach. The color, textures and flavor was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
