📋 Raw Italian Artichoke Salad Recipe With Parmesan Cheese

This Italian artichoke salad is made with raw fresh artichokes. Early in their season (winter or spring), they are so tender you don't need to cook them. Crunchy and nutty, they are mixed with a fresh salad, topped with Parmesan cheese flakes, and seasoned with salt, extra virgin olive oil, and authentic Italian balsamic vinegar. This simple dish is so distinctive that it can serve as a unique appetizer.
