Artichoke and rucola salad

Hello,
Today’s salad uses artichoke as basic ingredient.

Artichoke and rucola salad

Ingredients
½ soft lettuce (salade frisée / krulsla)
300g marinated artichokes (artichauts marinés / gemarineerde artisjokken)
3 tablespoons olive oil (huile d'olive vierge / olijfolie extra vierge)
Salt & pepper
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (vinaigre de vin rouge / rode wijnazijn)
30 g rucola (roquette / notensla / rucola)
* (translations in French / Flemish)

Preparation
Arrange lettuce on a plate
Cut artichokes in half and place on top of lettuce
Sprinkle with olive oil, wine vinegar, salt and pepper
Mix rucola with olive oil, salt & pepper
Put on top in the center.

I love artichokes. Before coming to Europe, I never ate them. If you use fresh artichokes, keep them in lemon water after peeling. Then boil for 20-30 minutes in water. Boiled artichokes are so delicious.
