Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (14 oz each) Hearts of Palm
- 2 sheets Nori Sheets
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Red Onion
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Dill Pickles
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Flat-leaf Parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Chives
- 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 large, diced Avocado
Instructions
Drain and rinse the hearts of palm, then pat dry with paper towels. Chop them into small, bite-sized cubes and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Use scissors to finely cut the nori sheets into tiny pieces. Add these to the bowl with the hearts of palm.
Finely chop the capers, red onion, dill pickles, parsley, and chives, then mix them in with the chopped hearts of palm and nori.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the hearts of palm mixture and gently toss to ensure everything is well coated and combined.
Carefully fold in the diced avocado, being gentle to maintain some of the cube shapes.
Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a more intense flavor, refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.
Serve the vegetarian tartare with toasted bread slices or crackers for a delightful appetizer.
