Hearts Of Palm With Cherry Tomatoes Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dressing mix, vinegar, and water until well blended. Whisk in olive oil. Add hearts of palm to the bowl, and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
• Before serving, sprinkle the green and black olives, and bacon bits over the salad.

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients for the dressing, except oil, salt and pepper, into blender or food processor and puree. Slowly drizzle in oil until thick and creamy. Season, to taste. Toss salad ingredients together, and garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F with a rack set on the middle shelf. Place the hearts of palm onto several layers of paper towels to absorb any excess liquid. Season lightly with salt.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it just starts to shimmer. Sear the hearts of palm until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes total. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Transfer to a baking sheet or large plate. Discard the used oil and wipe out the skillet.
• Add the remaining oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened and lightly browned, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and fish sauce if using. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
• Season with additional salt if needed. Carefully pour the sauce into a 13- by 9-inch baking dish. Add the browned hearts of palm to the sauce in a single layer and sprinkle all over with the grated cheese. Bake until the cheese is lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving. Top with the basil.
• To serve, divide the warm polenta among 6 bowls and top with the hearts of palm and tomato sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, basil and vinegar in medium bowl to blend. Add remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let salad stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine heart of palm, onion, tomatoes and basil. In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, water, oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Pour this over the tomato mixture and toss.
• Refrigerate 1-4 hours before serving. Stir and serve.

Steps:

• Combine the dressing ingredients in a covered jar and shake vigorously to mix.
• For the salad, combine the hearts of palm, peppers, artichoke hearts, and olives in a bowl.
• Pour the dressing over and mix well; refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, place the mixed greens on chilled salad plates, divide the heart of palm mixture evenly over the plates and arrange the hard-boiled egg slices and tomatoes over the top.
