I liked this- was easier to make than I thought- I made it warm for hubby and added chicken breast instead of ham ~ I had it cold the next day and it was even better I think- gave it a little time for the flavors to blend...i would cut back on the lemon juice next time though- it was a lil bit sour with the artichoke juice in there as well- oh I left out the asparagus-couldnt bring myself to eat them- even with this recipe..:) thanks for a good one!
