MATERIALS

Salad Ingredients:

1 bowl of her green mixed salad to your liking hand-cut

2 spoons olive oil

½ cup. peas, boiled

8 artichokes, peeled with the leaves and cut into 4

½ cup, yellow spicy cheece, cut into thin slices

2 spring onions, cut into thin slices

1 cup fresh mixed herbs, dill, parsley, mint

Ingredients for vinaigrette sauce:

6 spoons extra virgin olive oil 

2 spoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 spoons white balsamic

2 spoons fresh dill, chopped

Freshly ground pepper, preferably

IMPLEMENTATION

Preheat the oven to 250 ° C on the grill. Salt and oil the artichokes and bake on the oven grill for about 10-15 minutes, until they get a nice color and their leaves start to crisp.

Once we take them out of the oven, we pour the vinaigrette over them to get all the aromas and leave them to cool.

For the vinaigrette sauce, place all the ingredients together in a stainless steel bowl except the olive oil and beat with a whisk, slowly incorporating the olive oil until the vinaigrette sauce is homogenous.

Alternatively, put all the ingredients in a shaker or in a jar with a lid and beat hard. In a salad bowl, mix the green salad with the spring onions, the peas, the herbs and the artichokes with the vinaigrette. Add the yellow spicy cheese and serve with extra virgin olive oil.
