Keto Artichokes with Lemon Dressing
Are you looking for an elegant Thanksgiving side dish that is incredibly easy to make? Look no further than this recipe for Keto artichokes with lemon dressing. You will be addicted to dipping each artichoke leaf into the tangy olive oil and lemon-based dressing. Whole artichokes are boiled to perfection then paired with a lemon vinaigrette seasoned with simple kosher salt and pepper.
How should I prepare the artichokes?
Some people will trim the tops off the artichokes, but it isn’t entirely necessary. Feel free to prep them this way if you would like. Whole artichokes can be rinsed well under running water and then placed directly into boiling water to cook without any prior preparation.
How do I eat artichokes?
Peel off each leaf, then dip it into the lemon vinaigrette. Place each leaf between your teeth and scrape off the inner layer. It is delicious! Once you get to the center (the heart), you can remove the hairy thistle and dip the heart into the dressing.
