Tomato Artichoke Salad
Here’s a light, refreshing salad that boasts the rich flavor of artichokes, olives and summer-ripe tomatoes. From Clara Coulston of Washington Court House, Ohio, this makes a nutritious side dish with all kinds of entrees.

Reviews
Husband and I loved the presentation of the vegetables on the plate--yellow artichokes and black olives popping off the background of the red tomatoes, and of course a wonderful combination of flavors--but the dressing is what brought down the rating. Waaaaaay too much lemon juice in proportion to the other ingredients. I even tried adding more yogurt and then some sour cream to "soften" the acidic flavor, but we still found it unimpressive. I will use the vegetables again but will most likely use Paul Newman's "Olive Oil & Vinegar Dressing" or make something similar to complement the Mediterranean veggies.
