From: Hearts of Palm (or palmito) is one of our favorite common things to eat in Costa Rica. I had a can of them in my cupboard and was looking for a salad to put them in. I started with this recipe and then changed it to my liking.
Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can hearts of palm, drained & sliced (if not already)
2 medium tomatoes, seeded & chopped
1/2 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper (use fresh ground pepper if possible)
2 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly shaved
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1 cup finely chopped iceberg lettuce (optional)
How to:
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Serve.
Side notes:
Serves two.
