This artichoke salad dressing recipe is deliciously tangy. It’s made from marinated artichoke hearts that you can pick up at the grocery store, and it only takes about 5 minutes to make a batch!
I first had this salad dressing at a work potluck. I don’t like work potlucks for the same reason I don’t like buffets – all the different food combinations usually make for a bad tummy. Why can’t I just limit myself to a couple of dishes? Good question. My solution is simply to avoid these occasions whenever I possibly can. I’m also antisocial and not a “team player”.
One time when I skipped one of these potlucks my lovely coworker who makes this dressing pulled me out of a meeting later in the day to tell me that she saved me some – bless her heart.
How to make artichoke salad dressing
Add the artichokes, olive oil, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, sugar, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Give it a taste and adjust the flavors to your liking if needed (e.g. add more sugar or garlic).
I slightly adapted my coworker’s recipe – instead of using onion, I use shallot, and I put in less sugar.
The recipe makes enough for several salads – I eat it over a few days. I really love this unique salad dressing. I hope you give it a try!

Very, very nice. I needed something unique for a ladies’ lunch. My only issue was I had no white wine vinegar—so I used red wine vinegar, which made it pink. No big deal. It was a real hit at the luncheon. Thanks. This will be a “go-to”.
Thank you, Carol! We’re so happy it was a hit at your luncheon 🙂
I just made it, love the tangy flavor. What kind of salads do you serve it on ?
Great!! It’ll work for plenty of salads. I love butter leaf lettuce and tons of veggies and tomatoes.
this dressing is VERY acidic
Fantastic photos, and amazing looking artichoke salad dressing! I am obsessed with artichoke! I’ll definitely try it! Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you! Hope you like it!
You drain & don’t use the marinate? Why not use it too, and adjust the olive oil and vinegar ingredients?
You could definitely do that, Catherine. I was just following the recipe my coworker gave me. 🙂
I usually just make a dressing from the marinade. but this looks tasty.
This is one of the most creative dressing ideas I’ve ever seen! It sounds so fresh and flavorful.
Thanks Erin! It is really good. I was surprised it had artichokes in it when I first tried it!
I don’t think I have ever had artichoke dressing before. I will definitely have to try, though!
