They always have canned hearts of palm on the condiments shelf at Down To Earth. Rinse them well before using.

Dressing Ingredients:

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

2 TBS soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1 tsp powdered wasabi

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions:

Combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk.

Salad Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 14-ounce can hearts of palm, rinsed

2-4 TBS flour, seasoned with salt

Veggie Chicken (I used the veggie "chicken" drumsticks from the freezer at Down To Earth. I took three of them, sliced them and lightly pan fried them.)

1 small head butter lettuce

Instructions:

Slice the hearts of palm lengthwise, then dredge them in flour. Fry them in a non stick skillet with a bit of vegetable oil several minutes, until they are golden brown. Remove from heat, set on paper towel, allow to cool.

Arrange butter lettuce leaves on a plate. Add the avocado slices, top with the sliced veggie chicken, and then the fried hearts of palm. Drizzle the dressing on top and enjoy.
