AVOCADO AND HEARTS OF PALM CHOP CHOP SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Tomato     Avocado

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients
3 ripe Hass avocados, about 2 pounds, cut in half, pit removed, meat scooped out and cut into bite-sized chunks
1 1/3 cups drained, rinsed and sliced hearts of palm, about 14 ounces
1 cup cooked corn kernels, sliced from 2 large freshly cooked ears of corn or thawed from frozen and cooked
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, may be left whole, about 6 ounces
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
3 tablespoons raw and hulled pumpkin seeds, lightly toasted
For the Vinaigrette
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. To make the vinaigrette, pour the vinegar and lime juice in a small bowl. Add oregano, salt sugar and black pepper. Pour the oils in a slow stream, whisking with a whisk or fork to emulsify. The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead of time, just emulsify before using. 2. To toast the pumpkin seeds, place them in an already hot small saute pan, set over medium heat. Stir often, being careful not to burn them, until you start to hear popping sounds (similar to pop corn), and they begin to acquire a nice tanned color, about 4 to 5 minutes later. Remove from heat and place in a bowl. 3. In a separate bowl, gently mix the avocado chunks, hearts of palm slices, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes and red onion with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle with the toasted pumpkin seeds and serve. This salad can be served as a main salad with a side of toast or pita bread, or it can be served as a side salad to grilled chicken, fish or meat.

I'm allergic to avocado, so I can't try this recipe. :(

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time to make something this elaborate for dinner.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is what really makes it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover avocado. I had half an avocado left over from making guacamole, and I was able to use it to make this salad. It turned out great!

I'm always looking for new and exciting salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The avocado and hearts of palm add a unique twist to the classic chop chop salad, and the dressing is simply divine.

This salad was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of avocado, hearts of palm, and tomatoes was so refreshing and flavorful. I also loved the addition of the lime-cilantro dressing, which really brought the whole dish together.
