I found this recipe and thought it looked great to try. I have artichokes coming in my veggie delivery box next week. I honestly didn't know you could eat them raw. duh!
* 12 small, tender artichokes (baby Italian violet artichokes are best)
* 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 lemons)
* 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation:
Peel away all but the most tender inner leaves of the artichokes. Cut each artichoke in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the hairy inner chokes. Place the artichokes in a bowl of water to cover, add all but 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice, and let soak for 30 minutes. Remove the artichokes from the water, drain, and slice them into thin wedges. Place the wedges in a serving bowl along with the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Let the salad rest for at least 20 minutes before serving.
