Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1 (15-ounce) can hearts of palm, drained and sliced into 1/4 inch rings
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced or shaved
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley, chopped
Vinaigrette Dressing
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the salad ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, drained and sliced hearts of palm, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped Italian parsley. Gently toss to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved and the dressing is emulsified.
- Toss the salad with the dressing: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad mixture, then gently mix to coat all the ingredients thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve: Serve the salad at room temperature immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Hearts of palm can be found canned or jarred in most grocery stores; ensure they are well drained to avoid watery salad.
- Allowing the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving can enhance the flavors as they meld together.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure vinegar and sugar are certified gluten-free.
- This salad can be stored refrigerated for up to 1 day but is best served fresh.
