MARINATED ARTICHOKE HEARTS
Canned Artichoke Hearts
Marinade:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp water
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp onion powder
2/3 cup vegetable oil
Drain the artichoke hearts, rinse in cold water, quarter and put in a bowl. Pour the vinegar and water into a cruet or jar, add the garlic powder, onion powder and Italian seasoning (note: you can use your own blend of seasonings, but I buy mine from Spice Barn, and it's good). Shake together to blend, then add the oil and shake well. Pour some over the artichokes and refrigerate for at least an hour. Stir before serving.
The marinade also makes a great salad dressing. Note that there's no salt in it, and yet my dearly beloved salt fiend really liked this. Canned artichokes do have some salt in them, but I'm not about to steam, peel and chop artichokes so I can make these from scratch. That defeats the point of "fast and easy", don't you think?

Your beloved has a more refined palate than mine. ;)
I have never thought of making my own marinated artichokes. They look GREAT!
I made your pink coleslaw, and it's delicious. Great for snacking -- it's both tart and sweet.
I wonder if I would enjoy those... I like artichoke dip but have never eaten the hearts as is.
I'm a salt fiend, but I trust your judgment. They look delicious!
