Steps

To prepare the artichoke salad, remove the outer leaves,
shorten the stem,
remove the tougher outer layer, and finally
cut off the tips with a sharp knife.
Soak the artichokes in acidulated water to prevent them from browning.
Take the artichokes, cut them in half, remove the choke with a small knife, and
then slice them.
Soak them again in the acidulated water, and continue this way with all the artichokes.
Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a pot and blanch the artichokes for about 10 minutes.
When they are ready, transfer them to a bowl and let them cool.
Meanwhile, prepare an emulsion in a jar by pouring the extra virgin olive oil, the juice of one lemon,
the chopped parsley,
the chopped mint,
the chopped garlic,
a pinch of salt and pepper and
shake it.
Once the artichokes are well-cooled, transfer them to the serving dish and pour the emulsion.
Add the cherry tomatoes cut in half and
mix to let the artichokes absorb the flavors.
The artichoke salad is ready to be served and enjoyed.
