Hearts of palm are the made from the inner part of certain palm trees. They have a mild taste and are similar to tinned artichokes in texture.

Palm hearts make a good vegan substitute for meat too. Low in carbs, calories and fat they are high in iron, potassium and zinc.

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.
