Roasted Artichoke and White Bean Salad

The full ingredients list and instructions are found in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading all the way through for any tips or substitute suggestions, to ensure that you have any specialized ingredients and equipment required and that you understand the steps and timings involved.

Swiss chard (also known simply as “chard”) is a green leafy vegetable that is somewhere between spinach and kale in flavor and texture, and in fact, if you can’t find Swiss chard at your grocery store, these are both good alternatives.

I know in the UK it is quite hard to find Swiss chard, unless you find it at a farmer’s market, or grow it yourself. So don’t let that set you back. The two alternatives I’ve mentioned can easily be used instead, as can another leafy veg such as greens or cavolo nero (black kale or Tuscan Cale).

The Swiss chard (or substitute) forms the base of this roasted artichoke and white bean salad which works well as a delicious vegan or vegetarian main dish, as a side salad, or even as a starter before an Italian meal.

No need to faff with fresh artichokes – simply use a jar or can of artichoke hearts which receive a good seasoning of olive oil and oregano before being roasted and served on top of wilted chard, with cannellini beans and red pear.

The salad is finished off with pine nuts and some crumbled Feta, although, some parmesan shavings would work brilliantly too!

Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe

While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients (and equipment) needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon or other stores if available online.

It does not include staple ingredients such as oil, salt, and pepper, as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen already. The complete list of ingredients with measurements is found in the recipe card.

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).
