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.

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

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.
