Marinated Artichoke and Almond Salad
This marinated artichoke and almond salad is a fifteen-minute lunch built on jarred artichokes, toasted almonds, and arugula. It also happens to taste like Embrace itself: the oil carries the same artichoke and almond notes in every bottle, so dressing the bowl with it is less a pairing than a match.
Ingredients
- 2 cups jarred marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 2 cups arugula
- 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons Embrace
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan often, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Watch closely, they burn fast once they start to turn.
- Drain the marinated artichoke hearts well, patting off excess oil with a paper towel if they're very wet, then halve any large pieces.
- Combine the artichokes, arugula, and toasted almonds in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Embrace and lemon juice until emulsified, then season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Divide onto plates, top with shaved Parmesan, and serve right away while the arugula is still crisp.
