Asparagus and Tomato Salad with Hearts of Palm is such a perfect salad, and if you haven’t tried hearts of palm, they’re a wow in salads!

\"Asparagus<\/p>\n

Asparagus and Tomato Salad with Hearts of Palm <\/strong>came about because of the way I love to pull things out of the fridge or pantry and experiment to see what I can come up with! And this asparagus tomato salad  started with the Hearts of Palm that are one of my favorite salad ingredients!<\/p>\n

I also had fresh asparagus in the fridge and chives growing in the garden, although you can use green onions if that’s what you have. I added a few of the small grape tomatoes I start buying in the spring when I’m craving tomatoes. And those ingredients are mixed with a tasty lemony vinaigrette.<\/p>\n

And when I can have an easy meal with a salad that includes hearts of palm, asparagus, and tomatoes, I’m a happy camper! This salad is going to be a great side dish for Easter if you’re still narrowing down the menu!<\/p>\n

    Hearts of Palm<\/a> (affiliate link) are a slightly-crunchy vegetable that’s harvested from the center of domesticated palm trees. They used to be somewhat controversial, but newer harvesting methods don’t damage the trees and wild palms are protected in many places. And Hearts of Palm are so delicious!

      \n
    1. Remove Hearts of Palm<\/a> (affiliate link) from the jar (or can) and let them drain.<\/li>\n

    4. Whisk together lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Dijon and then whisk in the olive oil a little at a time to make the dressing.<\/li>\n
    5. Then mix a few tablespoons of the dressing with the warm asparagus and let it sit while you prep the other ingredients.<\/li>\n
    6. Slice the hearts of palm into 1\/2 inch slices.  Break the slices apart into rings or cut them in half if they don’t separate.<\/li>\n
    7. Slice cherry tomatoes in half until you have a cup of sliced tomatoes.<\/li>\n
    8. Gently mix the tomatoes and hearts of palm with the marinating asparagus, and add enough dressing to moisten the salad.  (You might not need all the dressing.)<\/li>\n
    9. Wash the chives if needed (or use green onions) and then slice into short pieces. <\/li>\n
    10. Then gently mix in chopped chives, season the asparagus salad with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
