    Hearts of Palm and Avocado Salad

    This salad....sigh. It's creamy, delicious, and has a wonderful taste of lime. We enjoy The Hearts of Palm and Avocado Salad year-round as it's easy to make, healthy, and uses ingredients that are readily available. Is it better in the summer when tomatoes are at their peak? Yes, but using grape tomatoes makes this an all-around winner. 

    A white bowl filled with avocado, hearts of palm, and onion. Dressed with a lime flavored dressing.

    You will see, in this recipe, that I am careful with the ingredients. I am always trying to find the healthiest ingredients and the ones that have the least amount of sugar. 

    ingredients for the salad

    How to make the salad

    This salad calls for limited ingredients. Basically, it's tomatoes, hearts of palm, avocado, and onion. You can use red onions or sweet yellow onions. We use sweet onions. Have you ever used Hearts of Palm? These are canned vegetables that our family uses in salads all the time. Simply open the can and slice these babies up. They have a nice smooth texture and are slightly acidic on the tongue. 

    Toss the tomatoes, onion, hearts of palm, and avocado in a bowl. Then whisk the dressing together and toss. Viola! It's that easy. 

    lime zest

    To make the dressing, combine the coarsely chopped parsley, the grated lime zest, and lime juice, with the mayonnaise and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

    Do you have a terrific grater to zest your citrus with? I use this one from Deiss. A good zester will make short work of zesting both citrus and cheese. 

    Primal Mayonaise

    I am a big fan of natural mayonnaise. I use this one from Primal Kitchen. It has limited ingredients, no sugar added, and tastes like a dream. I find it at Whole Foods or online at Amazon. If you would prefer to taste a different salad dressing than the one I talk about here, check out The Best Salad Dressing!
