Artichoke Salsa

Artichoke salsa…I love those 2 words together, and boy, do we love this salsa!  We’re talkin’ here about chunks of artichoke, tomato, olives, basil, a little onion and garlic, all brought together with fragrant olive oil and parmesan cheese.  Oh my.  

What else can I say?  Super Bowl?  Perfect.  How ‘bout an hor d’oeuvre for that special Valentine’s dinner you’re planning?  Splendid.  How ‘bout sitting in the corner with a bowl of this and a bag of chips on Saturday afternoon when it’s raining (or snowing) and you aren’t going anywhere anyway.  Mmmmmm.
