Steps:
- To make the salad, cut the stems off the artichokes so they will stand straight. Remove the tough outer leaves and cut 1 1/2 inches off the top of each artichoke. Rub all surfaces with the lemon halves. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Place the artichokes in a steamer basket and steam until the bottoms are tender when pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Set the artichokes aside and reserve 1/2 cup of the steaming liquid. When the artichokes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the choke.
- Preheat broiler. Place the zucchini slices on a baking sheet and broil just until the tops are browned, about 1 minute. Set aside. Wash but do not dry the chicory. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicory, toss for a few seconds, cover with a lid and immediately remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the vinaigrette, whisk together the olives, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil in a small bowl. Whisk in the reserved artichoke steaming liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the chicory among 4 large plates, mounding it in the center of each. Arrange the artichokes, zucchini and red peppers around the chicory. Spoon the vinaigrette over all, place 3 toast slices on each plate and serve immediately.
