Artichoke and red pepper salad is my go to salad in the summer months. I either serve it on a bed of romaine lettuce or mixed greens.
I like roasted peppers on a gas stove top for that grilled flavor, but even tossed in a non stick pan until softened do the job if time is an issue.
I also prefer fresh or frozen artichoke hearts to canned or marinated because I like to boil them to my taste and enjoy them chewy in my Artichoke and red pepper salad.
According to www.nutritionvalue.org artichokes are rich in fiber which means that it will make you fuller for longer, are an amazing antioxidant and rich in vitamin C, K, folate.
