Refreshing Tomato and Artichoke Salad with Capers is a light, Mediterranean-style salad featuring juicy tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, briny capers, and fresh herbs tossed in a simple olive oil and lemon dressing.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, quartered
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or red wine vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp fresh basil, sliced
  • Optional: Shaved Parmesan, for topping
  • Optional: A handful of arugula

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, and red onion.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Gently toss to combine and coat all ingredients evenly.
  4. Fold in chopped parsley and optional fresh basil.
  5. Let the salad sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  6. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally topped with Parmesan or over a bed of arugula.

Notes

  • Marinated artichokes add more flavor, but canned ones work too with extra seasoning.
  • This salad is great for meal prep and tastes better after a short marination.
  • Add protein like chickpeas or feta to make it more filling.
  • Serve it as a side, light lunch, or over toasted bread.
