Exotic spicy salad

Exotic spicy salad

This fruity vegetarian salad is made with hearts of palm, an exotic vegetable harvested from the soft core of a palm tree.

  • Preparation: 10 mins
  • Serves: 4

What you need:

  • 1 can of Green Giant Hearts of Palm
  • 7-8 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 red onion, skinned, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 medium or 1 large ripe mango, peeled and cut into slices
  • 2 tsp. chilli flakes or crushed chillies
  • Small bunch of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • Honey and mustard salad dressing (we used a good quality ready made one or make your own with 1 tsp. wholegrain mustard, 2-3 tsp. runny honey, 100ml olive oil, 30ml wine or Balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper)

What you do:

  1. Tip the Hearts of Palm into a sieve, rinse under cold water and drain and slice at an angle (to create elongated discs).
  2. Arrange the mango and tomato slices on a serving plate and then evenly scatter the onion and chilli.
  3. If making your own dressing whisk together all the ingredients, drizzle over the salad and finally top with the chopped coriander.
