Hearts of Palm Recipe

So after one month of Tim Fer­riss’ slow carb diet and going to Title Box­ing Gym three times a week, I have lost a total of 14 pounds.  The biggest chal­lenge of the diet is the diet restric­tions of no dairy, fruit, or starch­es.  I have worked around this by intro­duc­ing new meals into the diet.  One of my favorite meals so far is the Hearts of Palm Sal­ad. It is such a quick and easy meal.

Heart of Palms Salad

1. Rub the cut sides of the gar­lic clove all over the inside bot­tom of a large sal­ad bowl; dis­card the gar­lic or save for anoth­er use.

2. In the bowl, whisk togeth­er the 6 T (90 ml) vine­gar, 1 t salt, and 10 turns of black pep­per until the salt is dissolved.

3. Add the 2 cans hearts of palm, 2 chopped toma­toes, and 2 diced avo­ca­dos. Driz­zle the 8 T (120 ml) extra vir­gin olive oil  around the sides of the bowl and toss to com­bine. Taste and sea­son with more salt and pep­per if need­ed. Serve. The sal­ad can be made up to 1 hour before serv­ing; keep at room temperature.
