This salad was delicious :) I love avocados and hearts of palm so I knew I had to try it. The dressing was great, only thing I did different was to double the dressing for us, Thanks! Made for The Rail Riding Rowdies ZWT5.

This was a refreshing salad and I gave it 5 stars although I felt like it needed a tad more spice so I added some aji sauce I had on hand. That was the perfect touch. OH! I added the rest of the camarone from the appetizer before salad tonight. Just seemed like shrimp were perfect with this. Thanks for another great ZWT4 recipe, Sharon!

This is a delicious salad. I just used a pinch of sugar and salt, and doubled the amount of hearts of palm to really showcase their flavor. Thanks for sharing this!
