1 c green olives
1 c mayonnaise
6-8 green onions, chopped, white and green parts
1 + 2 tsp curry powder
salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb small or medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • 1. Brown the rice in about a tbsp. of olive oil, then add the amount of water called for on the pkgs. along with the seasoning pkts. ONLY (No butter or additional oil) and finish cooking as per pkg. instructions. Set aside.
  • 2. Rinse and drain the shrimp. Then toss them in about 2 tsp. curry powder and saute them in a pan barely coated in olive oil until they are about half cooked and then turned them and added a little water (just to cover bottom of pan) to finish cooking. Don't overcook! Set aside.
  • 3. For the dressing: Mix the mayo, artichoke juice, salt and pepper to taste, and the other tsp. of curry powder together. (I love curry, so I add more, probably twice this much, maybe even more! I sometimes also add 1-2 tbsps. of the olive juice to the dressing.)
  • 4. Add the green onions, artichoke hearts, green olives and shrimp to the rice and toss. (I often add additional artichokes and olives. I like a lot of goodies in mine.)
  • 5. Pour the dressing over the rice mixture and toss to coat. Don't over mix or rice will become very clumpy.
  • 6. I serve this warm or cold. It is wonderful either way. And, the leftovers are just as good or better the next day. Enjoy!

Valuable Tips When Making Artichoke Rice Salad Recipes

Artichoke rice salads are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a summer barbecue or a family dinner. They are easy to make and are often a crowd-pleaser. But, making an artichoke rice salad requires some careful considerations, especially when it comes to choosing the right ingredients and preparing them properly. Here are some tips that will help you create a flavorful and delicious artichoke rice salad.
1. Use Fresh Artichokes
When making an artichoke rice salad, it is important to use fresh artichokes instead of canned or frozen ones. Fresh artichokes are more flavorful, have a better texture, and are more nutritious. If you’re not sure how to prepare fresh artichokes, check out some online tutorials or ask your local grocer for advice.
2. Rinse the Rice
Before cooking the rice for the salad, rinse it several times to remove any excess starch. This will help prevent the rice from clumping together and ensure that it remains fluffy and separate after cooking. After rinsing, let the rice soak in water for about 20 minutes before cooking to help soften and hydrate the grains.
3. Add Some Color and Texture
To make your artichoke rice salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat, add some colorful and textured ingredients such as chopped vegetables, nuts, or fruits. You can add diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, bell peppers, or avocado for a fresh and healthy touch. Toasted almonds, pistachios, or pine nuts will give your salad a nice crunch, while dried cranberries, apricots, or raisins will add some sweetness.
4. Season Well
To make your artichoke rice salad flavorful and satisfying, don’t forget to season it well. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and oils that complement each other and enhance the flavors of the ingredients. You can use fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or cilantro for a fragrant note, and spices like cumin, paprika, or turmeric for a warm and earthy flavor. Dress the salad with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and honey to create a tangy and sweet dressing that ties all the elements together.
5. Chill and Rest
Once you’ve prepared your artichoke rice salad, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This will help the flavors mingle and the dressing to absorb into the rice and vegetables. Also, let your salad rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to come to its full flavor potential.
6. Mix it Up
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different recipes and flavor combinations when making an artichoke rice salad. You can switch up the vegetables, nuts, fruits, or grains to create new and exciting variations. You can also try adding different types of cheese, such as feta, goat cheese, or Parmesan, for some added richness and creaminess.
7. Serve with a Side Dish
If you’re serving your artichoke rice salad as a main dish, consider pairing it with a side dish or some protein to make it more filling and satisfying. Grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu are all great options that will complement the flavors of the salad. You can also serve it with some grilled vegetables, such as zucchini or eggplant, for a balanced and healthy meal.
8. Store and Reheat Properly
If you have leftovers of your artichoke rice salad, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. However, keep in mind that the rice may become drier and less flavorful after being stored. To reheat the salad, either microwave it for a minute or two, or heat it up on the stovetop with some extra dressing or water to revive the flavors.
