Recipe Tips

• Can I use canned artichokes instead? Yes, but marinated artichoke hearts add more flavor. Be sure to drain well.
• What greens work best? Arugula adds peppery flavor, but baby spinach or spring mix can also be used.
• Can I prep this ahead? Yes, assemble ingredients ahead and add dressing just before serving.
• Best cheese for topping? Shaved Parmesan adds sharpness, but crumbled feta or goat cheese are tasty alternatives.
• How to serve as an appetizer? Spoon onto crostini or serve alongside antipasto platters.
