I’m a native Brazilian and hearts of palm is a staple in our kitchens. We use it in salads, mini pies (empadas), empanadas and savory pies. It’s perfect combined with chicken in a creamy filling for empanadas. Thanks for all those new ideas for salads using hearts of palm. In Brazil, we call them “palmeeto”.
How fun learning more about them! I am a long-time fan but didn’t know that name for them. Hope you enjoy the salads!
