Begin by preparing a medium-sized bowl of water and adding 3 tbsp lemon juice into the water. This water will be used to place the peeled artichokes to prevent browning. Peel the tough outer leaves off of the artichokes until you get to the more tender leaves.
Step 2
Cut the tops off the artichokes to expose the center. Trim the tough outer layer off the bottom of the artichokes too.
Step 3
Then use a spoon to scoop out the sharp leaves and hairy choke. Once clean, place into the lemon water and repeat on the other artichoke.
Step 4
Once both artichokes are peeled and cleaned, place them on a mandolin and shave them into thin slices.
Step 5
Place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl and top them with the olive oil, remaining lemon juice (1 ½ tbsp), and fine sea salt. Toss, taste, and add more lemon or salt as you would like to.
Step 6
You can leave the artichokes like this in the fridge whenever you are ready to serve. Before serving, toss in the spinach and dandelion greens.
