We really enjoyed this salad. I had to add some olive oil, as my artichoke brine was mostly water/vinegar based, and added some salt to taste as well. A great potluck salad, especially if you want to bring something that isn't mayo based and don't want to worry about spoilage. I'd use kalamata olives next time instead of black, since they have so much more flavor; but as is, this is a very good salad. Made for ZWT9.
