Ingredients

• 1 can (around 14 oz) Hearts of palm
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 medium Avocado

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the hearts of palm, then slice them into 1/2 inch rounds.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber. Then slice it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Cut the cucumber into thin slices and add to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl of vegetables.

Step 5

Roughly chop the basil leaves and add them to the bowl.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to create the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.

Step 8

Peel and pit the avocado, and cut it into small cubes. Add the avocado cubes to the salad just before serving to prevent browning.

Step 9

Toss all ingredients gently to ensure even coating with the dressing. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to one hour before serving for optimal freshness.
