Preparation:
In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine 2
tablespoons of the lemon juice with the salt and pepper. Whisking
vigorously, drizzle in the olive oil to make a vinaigrette. Add the
minced mint; set aside.
Using a vegetable peeler, slice the
Parmesan cheese into wafer-thin sheets; set aside.
With a teaspoon,
carefully scoop out and remove the hairy chokes (be careful not to scoop
out the firm heart). Cut each artichoke heart crosswise into thin
slices. Toss immediately with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice so
that the artichokes do not discolor. Add the lemon-mint vinaigrette and
toss gently.
Divide the salad among 4 chilled salad
plates. Place the Parmesan slices on top and garnish with additional
mint leaves or black pepper.
Makes 4 servings.
