David Rocco’s Raw Artichoke Salad Recipe

Step 1: Remove all tough external leaves from the artichokes. Discard the stem.
Step 2: Cut the artichokes in half lengthwise. Lay them cut side down on a chopping board and slice them crosswise as thinly as possible.
Step 3: Place the slices in a bowl and season immediately with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Put them on a serving plate and finish with shavings of Parmigiano cheese.
Alternate idea: Toast some bread to make crostini. Top with the artichoke salad and shave the Parmigiano over top.
