Instructions
In a medium container with a lid, mix canola oil, tarragon vinegar, sugar, thyme, dry mustard, and garlic. Cover, and shake until well blended.
Place artichoke hearts into the mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 4 hours, or overnight.
In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, red bell pepper, carrot, red onion, black olives, green olives, cucumber, and Romano cheese. Season with pepper.
Pour in the artichoke and marinade mixture, and toss to coat.
Recommended wine: Chianti, Trebbiano, Verdicchio
Chianti, Trebbiano, and Verdicchio are great choices for Italian. Italians know food and they know wine. Trebbiano and Verdicchio are Italian white wines that pair well with fish and white meat, while Chianti is a great Italian red for heavier, bolder dishes. The Barone Ricasoli Colledila Chianti Classico Gran Selezione with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 85 dollars per bottle.
