    Palm Heart Salad in white bowl with bottle of dressing

    This palm heart salad with Tarragon Dijon Vinaigrette brings together fresh, bright flavors and a slightly spicy kick. Both the salad and dressing recipes are quick to throw together.

    Texture and flavor

    In this easy salad, you get crunch from crisp greens, tender texture and mild sweetness from the palm hearts, and a creamy, flavorful blend from the hand crafted dressing.

    What is a palm heart?

    Palm hearts are actually the palm stem core from the Sabal Palmetto tree. They are low calorie and contain nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin B9, fiber, zinc and phosphorus. They taste something like an artichoke heart or asparagus and can be found in the ethnic or vegetable section of many grocery stores in bottles or cans.

    The vinaigrette is one of the best!

    The Tarragon Dijon Vinaigrette combines the sweet, licorice-like flavor of Tarragon with the spicy, tangy, somewhat hot flavor of Dijon mustard. It’s an exciting combination which brings life to the greens! Did you know Dijon mustard is not as sharp and vinegary as regular mustard? Dijon mustard, which originated in France, is made with white wine instead of vinegar. It also usually contains garlic, onion, mustard powder, salt and perhaps a bit of honey.

    Fresh herbs ...

    I love to use fresh herbs if I have them, otherwise, dried herbs still give great flavor to this dressing. For me, homemade dressings are always best. When you make them fresh, I think they really make the salad be all it’s meant to be! This one is fast to create, and the fresh results are so worth it!
