It’s so easy to get caught in a rut when you’re doing any kind of diet, reset or, for me, a Whole30. I am always looking for something quick and easy, like this pantry pull Hearts of Palm and Artichoke Salad. It’s the perfect side dish to complete your weeknight dinner.
This Mediterranean-inspired salad came to me during the many times I was staring blankly into my pantry. The salad starts with a couple of Whole30-compatible canned ingredients and mixes in a few fresh flavors: cherry tomatoes, parsley and lemon for the vinaigrette.
The best part about this salad is it also takes care of one of my biggest cravings during a healthy reset – the desire for a big chunk of cheese. If you’ve never had hearts of palm, they have the shape of string cheese and the texture of a creamy, mild cheese. It feels like a treat when I open a can, because it’s not an ingredient that’s in my regular rotation.
Put this salad together for a potluck and impress your friends or co-workers, or save the entire thing for yourself. The nice thing about both hearts of palm and artichoke hearts is that they’re lower-calorie vegetables that bring insane flavor and texture to this dish.
