• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet, add the shallots and saute until they become translucent. Drain the artichokes and add them along with a few tablespoons of the lemon water. Cover and cook until the artichokes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the pan.
• While the artichokes are cooking, thoroughly rinse the arugula and lettuce. Dry them. Remove stems from the arugula and tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces. Place in a bowl.

Add the mushrooms and saute over high heat until they have wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and return the artichokes to the pan. Set aside.
• Beat the vinegar with the mustard. Beat in the remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the arugula and lettuce with about 1/3 of this dressing and divide among four salad plates. Top with the artichokes and mushrooms, drizzle with the remaining dressing and scatter the Parmesan cheese over the top.
