- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 small Jalapeño (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into bite-sized chunks and place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Drain the hearts of palm and slice them into 1/4-inch rounds. Add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Add both to the mixing bowl.
Step 4
Finely chop the cilantro and, if using, dice the jalapeño after removing its seeds. Add them to the salad mixture.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to your liking.
Step 8
If desired, serve the salad over a bed of romaine lettuce for added crunch.
