A chickpea, olive, and marinated artichoke salad with mixed leaves is a perfect dish for any season, offering both freshness in warmer months and heartiness when it's cooler and the leaves have started to turn.
Packed with protein-rich chickpeas and vibrant vegetables, it's a nutritious and convenient option for a quick meal or side dish.
Easy to prepare and full of flavor, it’s an excellent choice for a healthy, no-fuss lunch or dinner that can be tossed together in minutes – Ideal for busy weeknights or light, wholesome eating.
I buy my marinated artichokes from the deli section of the supermarket, and they bring so much flavour and tang to this dish with very little effort.
