Hearts of Palm and Artichoke Salad

When we sampled a chilled hearts of palm and artichoke salad on a trip to South Padre Island, it immediately stood out. The combination of tender hearts of palm and tangy artichokes was unforgettable. Back home, my husband — the cook in our house — promised to recreate it and added a simple, fresh twist: baby spinach.

What makes this salad a favorite:

• Ready in about 5 minutes.
• Elegant presentation that looks like it came from a restaurant.
• Made with simple ingredients available at most grocery stores.

Our oldest daughter adores hearts of palm and happily devours this salad; it’s an easy way to introduce kids to new flavors and healthy choices.

Ingredients for an easy Hearts of Palm and Artichoke Salad

• 1 can (about 14 oz) hearts of palm, drained
• 1 jar (10–12 oz) quartered artichoke hearts, drained

How to Make This 5-Minute Artichoke & Hearts of Palm Salad

1. Drain the artichoke hearts and hearts of palm thoroughly. Slice the hearts of palm into bite-size pieces — cutting them on the diagonal gives a nicer look and texture.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced hearts of palm and pre-quartered artichoke hearts. Add the Dijon mustard and extra virgin olive oil, then toss gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Prepare the spinach by rolling the leaves into a tight bundle and slicing across to create thin ribbons about 1/4″ wide. This makes the spinach easier to eat and gives the salad a delicate texture.

Tip: Rolling the spinach before cutting makes chopping quick and neat.

4. Arrange the chopped spinach in individual bowls or a large serving bowl, then spoon the hearts of palm and artichoke mixture on top. The salad is best served immediately as a cool, light meal—perfect for warm weather.
