Why This Recipe Works

This vinaigrette can be served as a dipping sauce for large whole artichokes. Artichoke hearts can be tossed in some of the vinaigrette and served on Bibb lettuce with a complementary salad of grated carrots and thin-sliced scallions; drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the carrot salad and the lettuce.
