Artichoke, Carrot and Zucchini Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

May 10, 2023

I love this salad so much. It’s interesting with lots of different flavors. It’s perfect when you think you want something fresh and just a little different.

Makes 5-6 Servings

Ingredient List:

  • 1 jalapeño chili, roasted over an open flame, peeled, seeded and finely minced (see Variation below)
  • 5 to 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 5 to 6 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, finely minced
  • Generous pinch sweet paprika
  • Generous pinch cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups baby arugula, rinsed well
  • 2 to 3 sprigs basil, leaves removed, left whole
  • 1 medium carrot, cut into long ribbons with a peeler
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into long ribbons with a peeler
  • 8 canned artichoke hearts (in water, not oil), halved (you may also used frozen)
  • 10 to 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

Step By Step Instructions:

Prepare the dressing: Whisk all ingredients together, adjusting salt to your taste. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using. Whisk again before mixing with the salad.

Combine all vegetables in a mixing bowl. Just before servings, toss with dressing to coat. Serve immediately.

COOK’S TIP: You can eliminate the chili from this recipe for a sweeter, less spicy version of the dressing.
