Hearts of Palm Salad
This delicious salad is truly one of the easiest side dishes to make. I used to make it all the time back when I was in college, and love customizing it from time to time.
It takes minutes to whip up and is packed with so many fresh flavors. You can serve it as a simple plant-based lunch, or top it with crumbled feta cheese or a grilled salmon fillet.
Hearts of palm has a mild, crunchy texture and is similar in taste to artichoke hearts. I personally love snacking on them whole, but enjoy them even more chopped in a salad.
The salad is made with canned hearts of palm, canned chickpeas, avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion and parsley. The textures work so well together and give this salad a delicious crunch even a few days after its prepared.
The dressing is a simple olive oil lemon juice mixture and adds the perfect zest to this salad.
This hearts of palm salad is fresh and vibrant, and is the perfect summer salad. Serve it at your next BBQ, or meal prep it for an easy work week lunch.
I can’t wait for you guys to try it!
