Unspared by the heat wave during the past couple of weeks, we really had our appetite quite low. Fresher lighter meals were all the more alluring. I also happened to see some gorgeous fresh looking artichokes at the fresh produce market last week and couldn’t resist dropping a couple in my bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin and I decided to use the artichoke heart in a pasta salad, one that we usually have every so often, whenever we want an easy meal that can be filling as well.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This artichoke pasta salad really comes together very quickly, just about the time the pasta and artichokes take to cook. Meanwhile, you can use the time to chop the vegetables and once the pasta is done, it is just a matter of tossing everything together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The taste of fresh steamed artichokes is really something else, but you can most certainly substitute fresh artichokes with canned or preserved artichokes in jars, for a quicker or more convenient option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this recipe, only the heart of the artichoke is used. So, we just munched on the fleshy part at the base of the petals while preparing the salad. Quite addictive, if you ask me, even though we did not have them with any dipping sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
