What goes into hearts of palm avocado salad?

This keto vegetarian salad is not just palm hearts and avocado!

Here's what you need to make this:

Palm hearts - tinned or from a jar
Avocado - ripe and creamy, the flavour of avocado goes well with palm hearts.
Cherry Tomatoes - adds colour and great flavour.

Walnuts - great for crunch and antioxidants.
Microgreens - Entirely optional. I like them for their decoration. Arugula would be a great replacement or baby spinach.
