Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by preparing your fresh ingredients for the Tuscan Artichoke Tomato Salad. Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl. Thinly slice the red onion, chop the chives and fresh basil, and drain the marinated artichoke hearts, ensuring minimal moisture. Rinse and dry the chickpeas thoroughly.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar until well combined. Add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Add the prepped cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped chives, basil, drained artichoke hearts, chickpeas, and a handful of capers into the large mixing bowl. Gently mix these vibrant ingredients until evenly distributed.
- Slowly drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the combined ingredients in the bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly until each component is well-coated with the dressing.
- You can serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Allowing it to marinate will deepen the flavors.

Notes
Ensure all components are well-drained to avoid a soggy salad. Taste and adjust salt after adding capers, as their brininess can vary greatly.
