Hearts of Palm Salad Recipe

Here is another new salad we made this summer. I really didn't want to get burned out on the old standby lettuce & tomato salad so each week I tried adding in a new salad. This is a new family favorite. We had heart of palms for the first time during an Aruba vacation. I was thrilled to have found them in my local store. Most stores should have them in the can good aisle somewhere near the artichokes. If I can find them in my tiny town you should be able to find them in your store.
