Soren Pugh

Report

Heart of Palm Salad Skewers assemble chunks of heart of palm, grape tomatoes, salad greens like arugula, and optional red onion onto skewers, served chilled with a lemon vinaigrette dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, sugar, and sprinkled fresh thyme. This light, fresh appetizer or side combines crisp vegetables with tender heart of palm in a simple presentation that highlights the natural flavors with a bright, citrusy dressing.

Description

The recipe involves threading alternating pieces of heart of palm, grape tomatoes, salad leaves, and optional red onion chunks onto skewers to create individual servings. The skewers chill in the refrigerator to keep the ingredients crisp and refreshing.

A lemon vinaigrette is prepared by whisking olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and a touch of sugar together into a thick, homogeneous dressing. The vinaigrette is drizzled over the chilled skewers, and fresh thyme leaves are sprinkled on top to add a subtle herbal note.

These skewers offer a visually appealing way to serve this combination of ingredients, perfect for appetizer platters or light salads. The preparation is simple and focuses on fresh ingredients, making it ideal for warm weather occasions or lighter meals.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

To prepare the salad, assemble 4 heart of palm salad skewers by inserting and alternating heart of palm chunks, grape tomatoes, salad leaves, and chunks of red onion (optional) as shown in the pictures, or as desired. Each of our skewers contains 3 heart of palm chunks, 2 grape tomatoes, salad leaves, and 2 to 4 chunks of red onion. Once skewers are assembled, chill in refrigerator for about 30 minutes, covered with a wet paper towel.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together well until obtaining a thick and homogeneous dressing. Drizzle the heart of palm salad skewers with the dressing, sprinkle with thyme leaves, and serve!
