Ingredients

Dressing

1 large garlic clove grated
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salad

1 can can artichoke hearts (14oz can) packed in water, drained and patted dry
2 hearts romaine sliced into thin ribbons (3 to 4 cups)
1 small radicchio cored and thinly sliced
1/2 fennel bulb cored and thinly sliced
1/3 cup pepperoncini peppers finely chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 small red onion minced
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp freshly cracked peppers
shaved Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, oregano, basil, mustard, vinegar, and olive oil, and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Roughly chop the artichoke hearts. Pat them dry with paper towels to prevent the salad from becoming watery. Add them to the dressing, then add the romaine, radicchio, fennel, pepperoncini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, salt, and pepper.
Toss to fully combine and ensure the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Divide the salad among serving plates. Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to shave Parmesan on each serving and enjoy.
