Chicory and artichoke salad, everything prepared raw, without cooking. Did you already know that artichokes are delicious even raw? In fact, green vegetables are essentially calorie-free substances and positively affect our body. They are rich in chlorophyll, polyphenols, and magnesium, all protective components for our health, such as toning the heart and fighting cholesterol, as well as helping those who are anemic. Not to mention the large amount of magnesium they contain, which is a great help to us: it helps fight insomnia and fatigue, cramps, and tingling. So, let’s not underestimate so much green on our plates that helps us stay young and above all healthy. Unfortunately, the waste from artichokes is considerable, and this makes us love them a little less. In addition to the stem, many outer leaves must also be removed, as well as the tip of the artichoke, whether or not it has thorns. If you follow the blue link below, it will take you to the page “Raw Chicory and How to Prepare Them“.

In the chopper bowl, place the anchovies, vinegar with olive oil, and garlic. Chop until the mixture is homogeneous with the anchovies completely blended with the rest of the ingredients.
Divide the drained and well-dried chicory into two plates.
On top of the chicory, slice the artichoke with the mandolin, dividing it half per plate. Season with a pinch of salt (remember that anchovies are quite salty).
Dress the chicory and artichoke salad with the prepared anchovy sauce.
Mix all ingredients and let rest for 30 minutes before serving, turning often.
