Recipe Pro-Tips
Use a good quality olive oil for the best tasting dressing. This is my favorite olive oil.
My favorite butter beans are Jack's butter beans found on amazon.
If you are short on time skip air frying/roasting the artichokes. It does make them a lot more flavorful to cook them but the salad will still be delicious.
