This salad is fantastic. The dressing is so flavorful. The arugula went perfectly with the tomatoes and artichoke. Will definitely make again.

This salad was fantastic. I added some red onion and avocado, as a previous review mentioned. Not to cause trouble, but the 1 person who gave this recipe 3 stars, does not like Arugula. Why would you try an ARUGULA SALAD, if you do not like ARUGULA?????
David Franklin
This is a personal issue but arugala is just too peppery and strong to be eaten alone in a salad, and the amount of dressing didn’t help to cut that flavor at all. I love ellie and her recipes, but this was just not for me. Adding in about half spinach and half arugala tasted much better.

This is so yummy!!! I added a little bit of avocado too…it was a great addition!!
Pesto is really just the best.

This was a huge hit at the dinner table. The dressing is so easy to make–we didn’t have time to make the pesto and just used Buitoni basil pesto from the supermarket, and it turned out very well. Delicious salad. Love the artichokes!
Toni Harvey
This salad is fabulous! I used jarred grilled artichokes and the flavor was outstanding. The dressing is so simple and delicious. I’ll definitely experiment with the addition of some protein.

What a Gem! Add chicken or steak and make it a meal! I love the creative dressing mixture, I would have never put the two together but I love it.
Michael Gray
I love this salad! I have starting using this very simple dressing on lots of different salads now.

Great quick salad using items easily found in your pantry and refrigerator. I typically use canned artichokes for dip or a chicken/pasta recipe I have. Somehow I wouldn’t have thought to use them in a fresh salad. They were delicious. I also had some homemade pesto in the freezer from last summer’s basil crop. Yummy! Thanks, Ellie for another quick, easy, delicious and HEALTHY recipe.
