Directions

Step 1

Begin by draining the marinated artichoke hearts and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the bowl with the artichokes.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add it to the bowl along with the cherry tomatoes.

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and slice it into thin half-moons. Add the cucumber slices to the salad bowl.

Step 5

Pit the Kalamata olives if needed and slice them in half. Add them to the bowl.

Step 6

Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the vegetables in the bowl.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss everything together until well coated.

Step 9

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
