Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime zest, lime juice, mayonnaise, honey, and pepper, and salt to taste.
- In a salad bowl, toss together kale, grapefruit, red onion, hearts of palm, and red chile. Gently top with the avocado. Serve with dressing, or toss it in the bowl. You can also arrange the salad on 6 individual plates.
Notes
- If you can't find hearts of palm, you can substitute chopped artichoke hearts. Fennel is also often used.
- If you are nervous about the red chile, you can omit it and add hot sauce to the dressing for some flavor.
- If kale isn't your thing, just use any green that you like: arugula, romaine, green or red leaf, spring green, etc.
