Hearts of Palm Salad

Submitted by Hey Jude

"I love hearts of palm and I loved this quick and easy recipe that I found in the Chicago Tribune. The great thing about hearts of palm is they have zero fat and cholesterol, they're low in sodium and rich in iron, phosphorous and potassium! Using light mayo keeps this salad lower in calories and fat."

I love hearts of palm and this salad was great. The dressing is nicely flavored and I had plenty left over to use on other salads.
