I love to put frozen artichokes in my favorite potluck salad:
bag of frozen veggies (any combination, I like Walmart's asparagus stir fry)
1 to 1.5 cups of salad dressing of your choice (I make my own vinaigrette, but also have used bottled dressings, usually vinaigrette, but creamy works too)
optional ingredients -
fresh veggies like onion, celery, bell pepper, small or chopped tomatoes.
jarred or canned veggies or pickled veggies like artichoke hearts, sliced beets, water chestnuts, black olives, green olives, pickled cherry peppers or pepper rings...
toppings or stir ins like cheese, seeds or nuts, (I usually don't bother with those because they're usually too high calorie)
12 to 24 hours (it depends on how cold your fridge is) before you want to serve, you just mix the veggies and salad dressing. Cover, and let sit in the fridge until ready to serve.
