Hearts Of Palm Salad

Another great Venezuelan recipe. I love it because it’s fresh, delicious, and has complex flavors. This Hearts Of Palm salad is made in minutes and satisfies a crowd. Forget ol’ boring salads and try this one.

If you’re not familiar with Hearts of Palm. It’s a vegetable harvested from a Palm Tree’s bud and sold canned. Here in South Florida, it is readily found in any supermarket. Including Target.

You can get a few cans here as well. It has a very meaty texture with a mild taste. When I was little I loved eating it with “salsa rosada” (pink sauce) which consisted of ketchup and mayo mixed.

The Hearts of Palm salad can be made in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to use. The mustard lime vinaigrette will prevent the avocado from browning.

I serve this salad as a side dish to any meal. It is simple enough to make on a weeknight and elegant to serve at a dinner party or family gathering.

I made this salad yesterday for lunch and it was gone in seconds. Luckily I made extra to take pictures, otherwise, I would’ve had to start from scratch.

The vinaigrette recipe below is triple what you will need, but it tastes so good that it can used on any salad dish.  This is my go-to vinaigrette. That’s why I love to make extra.

Doesn’t that look yummy? Vegetables, cilantro in a mustard lime sauce. I will make more for dinner tonight. Next time I am thinking of adding corn, it can give a different color and textural element to the Hearts of Palm Salad.

I hope you can try this at home and taste how wonderful Hearts of Palm are. I love eating them right off the can.
