Marinated artichokes hearts are delicious. You probably already know that. They're even more delicious when you make them yourself in a deliciously simple vinaigrette and mixed into an easy salad with tomatoes and feta! Sound like something you'll love? Keep reading!

Why You'll Love This Artichoke Salad

This artichoke salad is so full of flavor! Tender canned artichoke hearts and ripe summer cherry tomatoes get marinated in a simple red wine and olive oil vinaigrette infused with fresh garlic, basil and oregano, and soak up all of their delicious glory. A sprinkle of salty feta adds a nice punch that can't be beat. And after you do all the prep work (which isn't much!) you have a couple of free hours to do anything you please - like get the rest of dinner ready, or just relax!

The Best Marinade for Artichoke Hearts

The marinade for the artichoke hearts is so simple and so flavorful. It consists of fresh garlic mashed with salt, then mixed with red wine vinegar, olive oil, fresh basil, and fresh oregano. Easy peasy!

How To Make The Salad

  1. Make the marinade. Mash a clove of garlic with salt using a fork.
  2. Whisk in the vinegar and olive oil.
  3. In a large bowl add the drained artichoke hearts and tomatoes. Add the vinaigrette, basil, oregano, pepper, and feta.
  4. Stir it all together to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. I like to give it a stir every once in a while to redistribute the marinade.

Tip: Marinate the salad with a lid to keep the flavors from soaking into other food in your refrigerator!

Ingredient Substitutions

  • If you want, try swapping out other fresh herbs you have on hand, such as parsley, dill, or thyme.
  • You can also use 2 teaspoons each of dried basil and oregano.
  • Leave out the feta for a dairy-free salad.

Pairing Suggestions

This marinated tomato, and artichoke salad pairs beautifully with so many things!

  • Serve it as a side dish with Mediterranean inspired dishes, such as my Greek Chicken with Tzatziki, Mediterranean Meatballs, or Greek Lamb Souvlakis.
  • For a vegetarian meal, put it on top or some cooked quinoa or farro and chickpeas or white beans. Or just serve it with a fresh loaf of crusty bread for soaking up the dressing!
