Chilled Hearts Of Palm With Asparagus And Coconut Lime Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine asparagus, hearts of palm, cucumber and mixed baby greens.
• In a medium-size bowl combine coconut milk, rice wine vinegar, lime juice and honey. Stir with a wire whisk while slowly adding canola oil in a steady stream. Once all the oil is incorporated, season to taste with salt and pepper. Add dressing to salad, and toss gently.
• To serve, sprinkle macadamia nuts on each serving.

Steps:

• Blanch the green beans for 1-2 mins in boiling salted water, drain and rinse in cold water. Dry on a tea towel and put in a large salad bowl.
• Squeeze some lemon over the onion and avocados and let sit for 1 min. Add the tomatoes, hearts of palm, olives, onion, and avocado to the beans.
• Put the dressing ingredients in a small jar with a fitted lid. Add some seasoning and shake well. Just before serving, pour the dressing over and mix.

Steps:

• To prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the vinegar mustard, cumin, and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to blend. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil, mixing until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Set aside.
• To prepare the salad: Fill a medium bowl with 2 cups of ice cubes and cover with cold water. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and blanch until tender but not mushy, about 3 minutes. Drain the asparagus in a colander and transfer to the ice water bath to stop the cooking. Drain again and place on a paper towel-lined plate to dry. Cut the asparagus stalks into thirds.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched asparagus, parsley, artichokes, tomatoes, and watercress. Whisk the vinaigrette to combine and pour over the salad. Toss to coat and serve.
