Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz (canned, drained) Hearts of palm
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Drain the canned hearts of palm and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Place the hearts of palm into a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a slightly chunky texture.
Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic to the food processor with the hearts of palm.
Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, then fold in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the hearts of palm spread with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables. It can also be used as a sandwich filling or topping for crostini.
