Artichoke hearts are delicious, fiber-rich, and nearly fat-free. This elegant and savory salad is a nice tribute to them, celebrating them with style. Since the vegetables, which also include green beans and asparagus, are prepared, dressed, and marinated for hours, it’s a good do-ahead dish for company. If you have the time, substitute fresh, trimmed green beans for the frozen ones; you’ll need about 2 cups. Steam them until tender-crisp before using. You can also use canned quartered artichoke hearts instead of frozen; a 14-ounce can will work nicely. And feel free to garnish with whatever fresh herbs you have on hand.
