Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) Costa Rican hearts of palm drained and sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ cup pecan halves
  • 1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 2 cups radicchio chopped (about 4 oz or 1 small head)
  • 2-3 cups baby arugula
  • 1 avocado sliced
Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for vegan option
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes until caramelized and slightly blistered. Set aside.
  2. In a small pan over medium heat, add pecans, maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir frequently for about 3-4 minutes until the pecans are coated and slightly toasted. Transfer to parchment paper to cool.
  3. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, toss radicchio and arugula, add dressing and toss.
  5. Top with sliced hearts of palm, roasted tomatoes, maple pecans and avocado. Toss and enjoy

Notes

  • apple cider vinaigrette
  • lemon vinaigrette
  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The greens may wilt slightly, but the flavors will still be delicious. For best results, keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving.
  • Dressing variations: The honey balsamic vinaigrette is simple and delicious, but if you want to switch it up, try my apple cider vinaigrette or lemon vinaigrette for a different flavor.
