Delicious Hearts Of Palm With Avocado Sala

Ingredients:

1⁄2 cup yellow onion, halved, peeled, and sliced
2 cups lettuce, romaine
1 cup spinach, bagged, baby, cleaned
1⁄4 cup tomato, diced
Dashes of salt & pepper
3 hearts of palm, rinsed
4 teaspoons lemon juice, fresh
1⁄4 cup oil, extra-virgin olive
1 avocado, firm ripe

Directions:

Soak the sliced onion in a medium sized bowl with ice and water. This step crisps the onion and also takes away some of its strong bite. Set it aside for several minutes while getting the rest of the salad together. Put the lettuce and spinach into a large bowl and add the tomatoes and some salt and pepper.

The three hearts of palm are sliced, making about ¾ cup, and added as well. In a measuring cup, combine the lemon juice with a little more salt and pepper. Stir well with a fork then add the olive oil and set aside for a few minutes to blend the flavors. The onions are drained and patted dry and added to the salad bowl. When it is time to eat, open the avocado and remove the pit with a knife. Then, peel and dice the avocado and add it to the salad. Stir the dressing well and add it to the salad.
