Easy Artichoke Tomato Salad

WW Recipe of the Day: Easy Healthy Artichoke Tomato Salad

I ran across this recipe for artichoke and fresh tomato salad as I was researching artichoke recipes for last Fridays's 38 Power Foods Group post. I almost made this simple artichoke salad with tomatoes, olives and cheese, but decided on the easy whole wheat pizza with artichokes instead.

Still, I couldn't stop thinking about it and decided it was the perfect way to use up the couple of quartered artichoke hearts I had left from making the pizza. And since everything else I needed was either in the fridge or pantry, it seemed the perfect quick and easy accompaniment to our grilled turkey burgers the other night.

I love quick and easy salads like this, especially during the long hot summer here in Phoenix when you want to keep your time at the stove to a minimum.

Recipe Notes

This quick and easy salad is versatile too. You can give it more of a Greek flair by substituting chopped Kalamata olives for the sliced ripe olives and reduced fat feta cheese for the string cheese.

Or turn it into a main dish salad—perfect for a light lunch or dinner—by adding in a little cooked shredded rotisserie chicken, tuna, or chunks of cooked Italian-style chicken sausage.

I think canned rinsed and drained chickpeas and/or tuna would be good additions too. Just remember to adjust your WW Points values according.

I have a feeling this simple tomato artichoke salad will be making regular appearances at our house this summer.
