Baby artichoke, mushroom and smoked ham salad
Baby artichoke, mushroom and smoked ham salad
About this recipe: Young purple artichokes are beautifully tender and almost all parts are edible so they are much easier to prepare. I threw this salad together with what I had handy and I found it all came together quite nicely!

- Pull off the bottom 2 or 3 rows of outer leaves on the purple artichokes. Trim the stalk close to the base and cut off the top third. Bring a pot of water with the juice of half a lemon to the boil; add artichokes and simmer for about 30 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
- To make the dressing: Place the fromage frais, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest and Dijon mustard in a bowl; mix well with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the sliced ham and mushrooms into a bowl. Stir in the dressing. Slice the artichokes into eighths, and fold them into the mushroom and ham salad. Pile onto lettuce leaves, and garnish with a good sprinkling of chopped fresh chives or parsley.
