Prepare the artichoke hearts: Add artichoke hearts to a heavy-duty medium pot with 3 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-high, and let artichokes simmer until fully cooked and warm, about 5 minutes. Drain artichokes in a colander and run cold water over them to cool. Drain very thoroughly. -
Meanwhile, in a large serving bowl, add oil, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk together with a fork. -
Into the bowl, add artichoke hearts into the dressing. Stir to combine. -
Add remaining ingredients into the bowl: sliced basil leaves, chopped olives, onion, chopped bell pepper, and chopped tomato. Stir together to combine. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for a few hours and serve.
Cooking Tip: No time to thaw the artichoke hearts? Just cook them a little longer—up to 5 more minutes of simmering time.
Keep it Healthy: Using frozen artichoke hearts versus the marinated canned ones cuts down on a tremendous amount of sodium.
Tip: Finely chopping the artichokes, along with the other ingredients, turns this into a divine yet healthy dip to serve with pita chips.
