- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 can (14 ounces) hearts of palm
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.
Peel and pit the avocado, then cut it into cubes. Add it to the salad bowl, gently stirring to prevent it from mashing.
