Celebrate Artichoke Hearts! Artichoke Pasta Salad

Artichokes are great! They are good for you and delicious.  My mom makes an amazing Artichoke Pasta Salad and I am here to share some of her secretes with you.  This recipe is really easy to put together and don’t get scared by the raw egg.  It makes everything come together and it is perfectly safe! I normally shy away from pasta salads in favor of warm pasta dishes, but this one is just so good that I love to eat it whenever my mom makes it.  Grab some artichoke hearts, make this pasta salad, and celebrate national artichoke heart day!
