Have you ever eaten Hearts of Palm?

They are the inner portion of the stem of the cabbage palm, Florida’s official state tree. This vegetable resembles white asparagus stalks and is delicately flavored. I wonder who first discovered this stem is edible and delicious!

They also remind me of artichoke hearts. You can find them in cans or jars in most markets. They add an exotic twist to a classic summer salad of cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado.

For a delicious meal, I like to serve several salads. This one goes very well with Tropical Chickpea Salad.

You could also serve it as a side dish with Beer-Marinated Portobello Tacos.

Or enjoy it along side some chips and salsa.

  1. Amy this salad looks delicious! I also love hearts of palm, I like to use them as a sub for mozzarella in a caprese salad but they are also very reminiscent of artichoke hearts! I’ll have to try your recipe next time!
