California Pasta Salad with Artichokes image

I really learned to love artichokes when I lived in Northern California. Here is a recipe I got from a friend who was a chef in Monterey, California, back in the 1970's. Its a wonderful choice for summer lunches and can be a side or even a main dish salad.
