September is about artichokes & avocados!
My favorite artichokes come in cans or jars. Period.
I can't stand the fussiness of the fresh ones or scraping the leaves on my teeth
(even when they are dripping in butter)!
So I open the jar of cute little hearts,
drain the oil into a 2 cup measuring cup
& add enough olive oil to make 1 cup liquid.
Then I add 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice & 1 Tablespoons sugar.
Put the lid on the jar, shake, & POOF! great Italian dressing!
Cut the artichoke hearts into smaller pieces
& add to a green salad to make GREAT GREEK SALAD.
The rest of the ingredients are
3 chopped Romaine hearts,
1 can of drained, jumbo, whole, pitted black olives
(jumbo so you can eat them off your fingers
& those who don't like them can easily pick them out & give them to you!),
1 cup of sweet, seedless red grapes,
4 ounces of tomato-basil crumbled feta cheese,
& crunchy pecan halves.
Mix in the dressing above for a very juicy & delicious salad to share!
Add tender chicken breasts chunks & a hearty bread to make it a complete meal.
Coming soon: Avocados!!
