I am
crazy about tomatoes. I think they are delicious and there are so many different
ways to eat them. One of my personal favorites is in a salad. But this is not
just any old salad. Nope, this is my mother’s Tomato and Artichoke Salad. She
makes it for big family get togethers and it is always a big hit. I would also
recommend this for a pot luck, as it is something different and it is super
easy to prepare.
What you need:
2 Cans quartered
artichokes
1 Can of black olives
1 Can of diced
tomatoes
1 8oz package fresh
mushrooms {white button mushrooms}
1 Bottle Robusto
Italian Dressing
How to Make It:
Drain the artichokes.
Drain the black olives
Drain the tomatoes
Slice the olives in half
Slice the mushrooms into fourths.
Mix all ingredients together.
I like to make this ahead and let it chill
overnight so that all of the flavors mix, but it does not have to be chilled… I
just think it tastes better cold.
This is a really
simple recipe that always goes over well, as it is pretty healthy and super
easy to throw together. It is the perfect add on to almost any meal since you
can prepare it in minutes. It is also great for people who love tomatoes.
If you want to use up
all those tomatoes from your garden simply chop them up and use fresh tomatoes
instead of the can of diced tomatoes. I use canned goods in this recipe because
I make this year round and fresh produce is not always easy to come by or in
season. This is my go-to pot luck dish year round!
