Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Avocados
- 1 14-ounce can Hearts of palm
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 small Jalapeño (optional)
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce (optional for serving)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into bite-sized chunks and place in a large mixing bowl.
Drain the hearts of palm and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro and, if using, dice the jalapeño after removing its seeds. Add them to the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to your liking.
If desired, serve the salad over a bed of romaine lettuce for added crunch.
