Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (around 14 oz) Hearts of palm
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 medium Avocado
Instructions
Drain and rinse the hearts of palm, then slice them into 1/2 inch rounds.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber. Then slice it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and add to the bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl of vegetables.
Roughly chop the basil leaves and add them to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Peel and pit the avocado, and cut it into small cubes. Add the avocado cubes to the salad just before serving to prevent browning.
Toss all ingredients gently to ensure even coating with the dressing. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving for optimal freshness.
