Salad #2

So I made this salad a while ago, so I can't remember exact quantities (it can really be made to taste & the quantity you need), so here is the general idea. (I know this isn't the prettiest salad, but it tasted yummy). My inspiration is from my love of all things artichoke and a little bit from Jamie Oliver (the chef of course), he is always putting warm things on top of salads. So here it goes...

Warm Artichoke & Lemon Salad

Olive oil

Chicken breast, diced

Artichoke hearts, roughly chopped

Roasted red peppers, drained and sliced

Chopped garlic

Lemon zest & juice

Salt

Pepper

Red pepper flakes

Cannelloni beans

Baby Lettuce

In a saute pan, heat olive oil, add chicken, saute until no longer pink, add artichokes, garlic, red peppers, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Saute until warm. Remove from heat.

For dressing mix olive oil and lemon juice, or you can just dress the lettuce with olive oil, then with lemon juice. Be careful you don't get too much acidity. Dress baby lettuce. Top with artichoke mixture.

For the cannelloni beans, heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan, add beans and saute them-only for a second. Add to the salad.

I needed something crunchy, which I didn't have, but some sliced toasted baguette rubbed with garlic would be great.

Enjoy!
