Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cans hearts of palm 14 oz each, rinsed
  • 2 pieces ripe avocados yielding slightly to pressure
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice plus 1 tablespoon for serving
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion adjust to taste
  • to taste sea salt

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Citrus Juicer
  • Serving dish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by opening the cans of hearts of palm. Drain and rinse them under cold water to remove any briny taste. Once rinsed, cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Next, slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the mixing bowl with the hearts of palm. Be careful not to mash the avocados; you want to keep them chunky for texture.
  3. Sprinkle the finely chopped cilantro (if using) and the sliced green onions over the avocado and hearts of palm mixture. The freshness from these ingredients will elevate the flavors.
  4. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice over the salad. This will not only add flavor but also prevent the avocados from browning too quickly.
  5. Finally, add sea salt to taste. Start with a pinch and adjust according to your preference. Gently toss the salad, ensuring the ingredients are well combined without mashing the avocados.
  6. Transfer the Heart of Palm Avocado Salad to a serving dish, and if desired, drizzle with an extra tablespoon of lime juice for an added citrus kick. Enjoy it fresh!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to one day; the avocados will brown quickly.
  • Consider storing hearts of palm and avocado separately if you know there will be leftovers.
  • Add extra lime juice before storing to help maintain color and freshness.
