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
• sea salt to taste

Directions

Put palm hearts into a colander placed in the sink and let them drain while you prep other ingredients.Dice avocados, put them in a bowl large enough to hold all the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 T of fresh lime juice.Slice the hearts of palm and separate into rings (or cut in half if they don’t separate easily.)Cut the grape tomatoes into half.Slice the green onions and chop the cilantro (if using.)Toss the hearts of palm, tomatoes, and green onions with the avocado/lime juice mixture, then add more lime juice to taste. (I added another tablespoon of lime juice.)Season the salad generously with sea salt and then gently mix in the chopped cilantro (if using.)I thought this was best served right away, but recently a small dish of it got buried in my fridge, and I still gobbled it up after it had been in the fridge for several days!
