Artichoke Heart and Tomato Salad

 

Artichoke hearts are one of the few canned foods that we recommend and

do use in our kitchen. Here they are combined with fresh, ripe tomatoes

in a light marinade.

 

4 ripe, medium tomatos

8 canned artichoke hearts ( not marinated)

_________

 

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/8 cup wine vinegar or white vinegar

1 garlic clove, pressed

1 TBS. fresh tarragon ( 1/4 tsp. dried)

1TBS fresh basil ( 1/4 tsp. dried)

salt and black peper to taste

 

Cut each tomato into 6 wedges and each artichoke heart into halves.

Blend the rest of the ingredients, pour over the vegetables, and toss.

Chill for at least 20 minutes.

Serve on a bed of greens. Or fill a pita with artichoke and tomato

salad, and greens.
