Artichoke and Bean Sprout Salad Recipe - Insalata di Carciofi e Germogli

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Artichokes and bean sprouts make for an unusual, tasty salad.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 16 frozen artichoke hearts
  • The juice of a lemon
  • The heart of a small lettuce
  • A spring onion
  • 2 ounces Gouda cheese, in flakes
  • 1/4 pound bean sprouts
  • 2/3 cup plain yogurt
  • A tomato
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Bring a pot of water to boil, add the lemon juice to it, and cook the artichoke hearts until they are tender.

Meanwhile, slice the tomato, and put it in a salad bowl with the white part of the spring onion, also sliced, and the bean sprouts. Add the lettuce heart, tearing the leaves by hand, and the cheese.

Drain the artichoke hearts, and as soon as they've cooled, sliver them, eliminating any hairs they may contain. Add them to the salad, and season everything with a sauce made by mixing 2 tablespoons of oil, the yogurt, and salt and pepper to taste.
