Description
Fresh Hearts of Palm Salad with Citrus and Avocado Delight
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Canned Hearts of Palm (Fresh palm hearts can also be used if available.)
- 2 medium Oranges (Supreme them for easy eating.)
- 1 medium English Cucumber (Substitute with Persian or other salad cucumbers.)
- 4 medium Radishes (Cut into matchsticks.)
- 1 small Shallots (Red onion works well as a substitute.)
- 3 cups Arugula (Use mixed leafy greens if preferred.)
- 1 large Haas Avocado (Feel free to use any ripe avocado variety.)
- ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Omit for a vegan option.)
- ¼ cup Lemon Vinaigrette (Balsamic vinaigrette can be a nice alternative.)
Instructions
- Begin by trimming the tops and bottoms of the oranges to create a stable base. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel away the outer skin, ensuring no pith remains. Once peeled, gently cut along the membranes to release the citrus segments. Set the supremes aside.
- Open the can of hearts of palm and drain the liquid. Pat the palm hearts dry with a clean kitchen towel. Slice them into ½-inch rounds.
- Thinly slice the English cucumber and radishes. Cut the radishes into matchsticks. Finely chop the shallots.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula, sliced hearts of palm, cucumber, matchstick radishes, shallots, and the freshly prepared orange supremes. Gently toss the ingredients together.
- Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad mixture, ensuring an even coating. Gently toss the salad with your hands or tongs for about 30 seconds.
- Divide the mixture onto individual plates or a large serving platter. Top each serving with slices of avocado, sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the ingredients based on your taste preferences.
- Keep the salad chilled until serving for freshness.
