Betty's Hearts of Palm Salad Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a refreshing Hearts of Palm Salad. This is great for dieters, and is a nice dish for everyone during the summer—as well as the rest of the year!

Ingredients:

½ cup lighter flavor olive oil
½ cup white wine vinegar
½ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped pimiento or red bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons chopped ripe olives
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
About 6 cups romaine lettuce, washed and torn in pieces
16-oz. can hearts of palm, drained and cut into ½-inch pieces

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ½ cup olive oil, ½ cup white vinegar, ½ cup chopped celery, ¼ cup chopped pimiento, ¼ cup chopped onion, ¼ cup dill pickle relish, 2 tablespoons chopped ripe olives, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cover and chill at least 8 hours, or overnight. To serve, arrange torn romaine lettuce on 6 salad plates. Top evenly with hearts of palm pieces. Spoon chilled vegetable mixture evenly over salads. This is a terrific dish for dieters—also vegetarians, but I think everyone will enjoy it! --Betty 

Hi Betty

Love hearts of palm. Like artichoke hearts I forget how much I love them. I will have to go out an pick some up. Thanks for the video! P.S, your "field trip" vids are great, I've mentioned that before, though they really are quite interesting.. Any plans for more in the future? Hopefully so.

Have a great one!

@merchant2 Thanks for your lovely comment! I plan several field trips this spring and summer. I will be uploading one this week.

I have actually never heard of hearts of palm, what is it? I assume it is some sort of veggie?

[bettyskitchen]

@DLP1962 Hearts of palm is a vegetable harvested from the inner core and growing bud of certain palm trees (notably the coconut, Palmito Juçara, Açaí palm, sabal and pejibaye palms). It is costly because harvesting in the wild kills the tree. Heart of palm is often eaten in a salad, sometimes called "millionaire's salad."

Fantastic salad Betty, i must try this , esspecially the dressing...How long would the dressing keep for in the fridge? x

[bettyskitchen]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken With the oil and vinegar serving as preservatives, this would be good for a week or so. I hope you enjoy it!

Hello Betty,

Thanks for this! I only recently tried hearts of palm for the first time and I was looking for ways to use them so I think I will give this a go! In the meantime I'll check out some more of your videos for great ideas! :-)

Great looking salad..never tried hearts of palm before but lately I have been craving something new so these salad recipes are different and just might satisfy my wanderlust for something different! Thanks alot for all you do....Angie

wonderful recipe Betty. I could imagine using the dressing as a marinade also.thanks so much! have a lovely day!

If you're not dieting

Add some fritos or corn chips into your salad

It makes it crunchie and gives it a unique flavor
