Notes
Store leftover salad in an airtight container for 3-4 days.Hearts of palm are the main feature in this salad. They are a crunchy vegetable that are harvested from the center of the cabbage palm tree. The taste resembles an asparagus/artichoke combination. They come in a jar and are quick to just chop up and add to the salad.
