I just bought a jar of marinated Artichokes for a salad that I fell in
love with (A 'Ranee' salad, some of you might remember her, actually
her husband made it).

Now I am eager to try different things

Anybody have some quick lunch/snack ideas (other than a lettuce based
salad) that include marinated arties that takes little effort
(quick-fix), maybe also good for hot weather eating...

besides eating them whole right out of the jar? (grin)

Chop and mix with well-drained canned tuna and chopped,
bottled roasted red peppers and a bit of sweet onion.
Spread on crusty rolls or sliced baguette.

How about some antipasta for lunch? Make a nice plate with your
marinated artichokes, some olives, cheese, salami, proscuittio,
celery.

I'd love to have the salad recipe, please!

I remember Ranee, but not the salad -- could you post the recipe?

Well, that is close to just grabbing a fork & the jar. :-)

I suppose I could throw some with olives & cheese on a mini boboli &
cook in the toaster oven. Yum.

This is helpful

This idea spurred something else that I could probably do right now as
I don't have the red-peppers or the crusty bread you mention above.
I would have crusty bread, if it weren't for all the hot weather we
have been having. It went moldy WAY too fast.

I do have...
Egg bread I made last night with my bread maker
Home-made yogurt cheese
Sundried toms in olive oil
Vidalia (sp?) onions

Ohh this is sounding good!

Thanks!

Don't have feta. :-(

I've often used them in midnight snacks, tossing them with leftovers
like thin slices of rare steak and grilled chicken pieces.

I think it was just something he (Rich) just threw together.

I think I'll call it...

Mightily Tasty Mueller Salad.

Romaine Hearts, chopped
Olive Oil, drizzled
Johnnys Garlic Bread Seasoning, sprinkled
Marinated Artichoke hearts with some of the oil
Dehydrated Chopped Onions, sprinkled
Balsamic Vinegar, drizzled
Olives, chopped (I left them whole)

They pretty much just gave me the ingredient list & some pointers.
I tossed the Romaine with the olive oil & garlic seasoning before
stacking the rest of the ingredients on top in the order listed.
She told me the onion bits soak up some of the wet.

Yea, too chubby for midnight snacks. Sounds good though.

Probably not. :-) The other recipe (quite similar) specifies a 6-oz
jar of marinated artichioke hearts. Measure about a cup from your mongo
jar.

Pizza topping with cheese and sausage,
or chopped up to make a dip for celery and other crudites.

I bought a jar from Costco, too. I've made a couple of things and it's
about half-way down. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas of what to
do with the leftover marinade? I hate to throw it out. Am thinking it
may be a good marinade to marinate chicken before grilling?...

I can't imagine why not, what a great idea.

It makes a fairly good salad dressing, all by itself or spruced up a bit
with some herbs or citrus zest. It's also a good dipping oil for artisanal
bread.

Works for me. We had a potluck here at work a few years back. I don't
remember all the ingredients, but one guy brought a salad that he put
together in just a couple of minutes. It included a small jar of
artichoke hearts, and he included some or all of the liquid as the
dressing. It was quite good.

Digging through my cookbooks, I found this:

Alfalfa Sprout and Artichoke Salad (from _The New West Coast Cuisine_)

1/2 head cauliflower (1/2 pound), broken into flowerets
2 green onions and tops, cut into 1-inch segments
2 cups (4 ounces) alfalfa sprouts
1 6-ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts and juice

Combine all ingredients in salad bowl. Toss to mix. Just pour juice from the
artichoke jar over for dressing.


And reviewing the recipes I've saved from this newsgroup, I found this,
which uses the marinade as part of the dressing:


Mom's Salad

1 can baby corn, drained
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts (not drained)
1 large jar pitted black olives, drained
1 large jar green beans (NOT French cut)
1 jar whole baby mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup Italian dressing

Mix together and chill.
[Note: I added some cubed mozzarella. I also thought a "large" jar of olives
was overdoing it.]
