Hearts of Palm, Artichoke, Avocado and Butter Lettuce Salad
This Hearts of Palm, Artichoke, Avocado, and Butter Lettuce Salad is not light on flavor, but would be the perfect dish to “Lighten Up Your Holiday Table.”
Hearts of Palm, Artichoke, Avocado, and Butter Lettuce Salad
When my sister was in town, she raved about the Vaca Frita she had made earlier in the month. Whenever I get together with my sisters, we are bound to cook.
We decided that Cuban beef would be our dinner, and searched for a salad to complement it. Maddy spotted some hearts of palm in my pantry so we knew those had to be part of the deal.
We added some diced red onion and poblanos to this hearts of palm, artichoke, avocado, and butter lettuce salad, then drizzled it with a simple champagne vinegar and olive oil dressing.
Lighter Recipes for Thanksgiving
If your Thanksgiving table is anything like ours, it’s filled with carbs. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, fruit salad covered in whipped cream and rolls are a given. We eat it all and fall into a post-meal coma.
Then comes the pies and we do it all again. SO, the Sunday Supper crew figured we could share some lightened up dishes for our holiday table for those who want to make it to 8 PM without lapsing into a deep slumber.
This hearts of palm salad would be a marvelous option. Of course, we’d still make all the regulars, but I’d save a spot on my plate for a big serving of butter lettuce with all the toppings and tantalizing dressing. And there would be no guilt when I went back for seconds.

This salad really hit the spot for lunch! I loved the combo of fresh flavors! SO good!
What took me so long to find this recipe. The Hearts of Palm salad is outstanding. I truly believe a good champagne vinegar is key. Love this. Thanks.
Never had hearts of palm before but you are making the case for me to try it!
You threw me for a loop this week, Liz. I was looking for you under “desserts.” But actually, I’m so glad you contributed this salad instead. I know it sounds crazy, but for me, a Thanksgiving dinner just isn’t complete without a salad. I made a kale salad last year that, ummmmm, wasn’t very warmly received. I feel like this salad would be such a crowd pleaser. I mean, how could you not like all these ingredients? Just printed it!
I love recipes that are so easy as well as healthy! Thanks!
Confession time – I’ve never, ever tried hearts of palm; but, your pictures and recipe makes me really, really want to – like, now!!
What a gorgeous salad! I can see myself piling this up on my plate too! I love all of these ingredients and the light and simple dressing sounds wonderful!
I could eat this salad every night of the week, it looks so fresh and delicious!
Yep hearts of palm, artichoke, avocado is a winning combo for a salad. I have been enjoying hearts of palms for years but never buy it.
I haven’t used hearts of palm in years! Thanks for a new recipe1
What a lovely salad, I love all the greens in it! Healthy and delicious 😀
Cheers

Now this is a salad!!! Look at those beautiful colors in there.
Interesting recipe, Liz… yes, celebrity chef Luke Nguyen suggested them to me… they are a little on the bland side for my tastebuds, but mixed like this would be delicious, I think.
Hi Lizzy,
I’ve never had hearts of Palm but your salad inspires me to try them. Lovely presentation. Lightening up holiday dinners is difficult to do especially since everyone wants all the calorie laden dishes.

Oh, so full of flavour, thanks for sharing!
Someone made a salad very similar to this at my housewarming party last night, but they didn’t have artichokes…that would have made it a zillion times better!!! Loveeee your salad
I often include hearts of palm in a salad. I love that tangy jolt when I bite into them.
What a gorgeous salad! Yes, a perfect option for when a lighter meal (or side dish) is required.
