Inspired by a trip to Whole Foods

Sweet Corn Salad with Peppers, Tomatoes, Artichokes and Basil

On Good Friday when most stores were closed, Whole Foods was open.

After a busy week, as usual we did not have much to eat at home.  Thankfully we could visit Whole Foods for lunch.  Among other things like roasted chicken, tuna salad, cheese, I bought a small serving of sweet corn salad and it was so delicious.

It was an inspiration for me to make one.  The recipe I found had caramelized onions, peppers and tomatoes.  I added some Julius brand artichokes from Pasquale Bros. as a personal touch. If you do not know already: Pasquale Bros. Ltd. is now run by Julius's mother who is the third generation doing so, and,  they have a whole line of amazing products named after Julius, from olive oil to canned goods.  A little Julius goes a long way as we all say!

What a great salad for Easter weekend!  Tasty, colourful and oh so appetizing!





And the score: 8/10

Thank you for reading and please leave me some comments, love to hear from you!
