Ingredients

Vinaigrette:

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Salad:

12 ounces dry bowtie pasta
1 (13.75 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
4 oz prosciutto, chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette: combine the vinegar, lemon juice, and mustard in a food processor or blender. (I use the twister jar on my Blendtec.) Stream in the olive oil until it is smooth and combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Make the salad: Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and rinse. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, artichokes, prosciutto, green onions, parsley, basil and cheese. Mix well. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours before serving.
