Heart of Palm Salad with Tomato, Avocado, and Lime

Ingredients

• 1 can hearts of palm, drained and cut into slices
• 2 small avocados, diced
• 2 T + 1 T fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1 cup small grape tomatoes, cut in half
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, optional
• Sea salt to taste

Directions

1. Set the palm hearts in a colander in the sink so they can drain while you get the rest of the salad ready.
2. Cut the avocados into dice, add them to a bowl big enough for the finished salad, and coat them with 2 T fresh lime juice.
3. Slice the hearts of palm, pulling the pieces apart into rings, or halve them if they are being stubborn.
4. Halve the grape tomatoes.
5. Thinly slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro if you’re including it.
6. Add the hearts of palm, tomatoes, and green onions to the avocado and lime mixture, and toss gently. Taste and add more lime juice as needed. Another tablespoon is a good place to land.
7. Sprinkle the salad generously with sea salt, then carefully fold in the chopped cilantro, if using.
8. Serve it right away, or refrigerate it if needed.
