Just made this salad for supper tonight and it was so delicious I wish there was more left over. Best thing is that it was so simple to make. I get such good recipes and ideas from Imamother that sometimes I feel I just have to share something really good in return!

Tomato Hearts of Palm Salad
1 container cherry tomatoes halved
2 cans heart of palm
1 red onion

dressing:
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp mustard
1 tsp salt
1 clove garlic crushed (I just used garlic powder because I hate crushing garlic. would have used a garlic cube if I would have remembered to take it out of the freezer early enough)

Combine salad ingredients. Combine dressing. (I shake it up in a container) Pour over salad and mix.

I made it with only 1 can hearts of palm, and bit more than a container of tomatoes because that is what I had around. I also made only a half of the dressing recipe and found that it was enough for the amount of salad I had, but I tend to do that with most salads anyway.

Enjoy!

I got this recipe from my sil and this is the way she gave it to me. She did say that it called for mushrooms, but she never uses it and I didn't either so I didn't include it. I don't even know how much mushrooms it calls for. I can't however picture this recipe with avocado, it would give it such a different taste and texture! I think I will leave it as is for now. Maybe one day I will try it with avocado.

I also make something similar with avocado, hearts of palm, tomato, and red onion, but I just squeeze on some lemon and mix with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. It's always gone! I like the dressing you listed here, OP, maybe I'll try it with that! Thanks for the recipe! Smile
