- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp Salt

Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned hearts of palm and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Place the hearts of palm into a food processor and pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want a slightly chunky texture.
Step 3
Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic to the food processor with the hearts of palm.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture until it becomes smooth and well-combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, then fold in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 6
Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve the hearts of palm spread with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables. It can also be used as a sandwich filling or topping for crostini.
