Artichoke And Bacon Salad Recipe

   Let them cold then crumble them into large pcs.

   Slice the tubers thickly and place them in a china bowl.

7. 7

   Add in a generously handful of minced parsley and the crumbled bacon.

8. 8

   Make a vinaigrette with the walnut and olive oils the lemon juice and the mustard.

9. 9

   Stir in some salt and a grinding of black pepper.

10. 10

    Pour over the artichokes and toss gently.
