This salad has all of my favorite ingredients cherry tomatoes, artichoke, edamame and last not the least cilantro-lime vinaigrette. Each of these ingredients played an important role in making this salad superb in taste and texture. A healthy and filling lunch salad with perfect balance of sweet, sour and savory.

Oh!! how can I miss to mention my favorite goat cheese? Each bite with zesty lime dressing and creamy, yummy, and tangy goat cheese rounded up the salad pretty well.

In my family, eating salad for lunch for even 2-3 days continuously is a challenge in itself (what? in your family too!!). I can adjust with the salad weeks but my husband needs good delicious (and convincing) salad to save us from lunch-time trip to Panda Express ;)

By 10 am, my mind starts spinning to find best ingredients combination from refrigerator. Today, first few things that caught my attention was, cherry tomatoes and spicy greens. And then I wanted some thing filling and meaty with little crunch, spice and full of proteins. I am so proud of today's salad. Meaty artichoke hearts with spicy greens, creamy goat cheese and sweet cherry tomatoes, mouthwatering delicious!! Y U M M Y!!! I will be repeating this salad for sure next week. Just keep the vinaigrette in a separate container and this lite and bright salad can be your lunch next day.

Enjoy good health and good taste to keep you motivated for a healthy, lite and delicious New Year.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Step for Recipe - Cherry Tomatoes, Artichoke, Edamame Salad with Goat Cheese, Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette 1. Make Vinaigrette - In a large bowl, add chopped cilantro, lime (about 1 & 1/2 tbsp) juice, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/ tsp pepper and 1 tbsp olive oil. whisk together. Thinly slice red onion and add it to the vinaigrette (lime juice will mellow the flavor of onions and will not be very spicy by the time you finish salad)
  • Step for Recipe - Cherry Tomatoes, Artichoke, Edamame Salad with Goat Cheese, Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette 2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan, add frozen (washed) artichoke hearts and saute till slightly caramelized and tender (3-4 minutes). Meantime, slice larger cherry tomatoes to half and steam edamame (if not using precooked). I used frozen edamame and thawed'em per package direction.
  • Step for Recipe - Cherry Tomatoes, Artichoke, Edamame Salad with Goat Cheese, Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette 3. Assemble - Once caramelized, remove artichoke hearts from the heat. In the bowl with vinaigrette, add spicy green mix (or arugula or spinach if using). Top it with diced tomatoes, shelled, steamed edamame, artichokes and crumble 2 tbsp goat cheese over the top. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on the goat cheese. Refrigerate till ready to serve. You don't want to toss the salad until ready to serve.
  • 4. Just before serving, toss the salad to combine all ingredients with the vinaigrette sitting at the bottom. Transfer to a salad platter or two individual salad bowls, serve and enjoy!!!
