RECIPE BY Cooking Light

Grapefruit adds a perfect sweet-tart zing to this salad. Hearts of palm have a semifirm texture and nutty flavor similar to that of artichoke hearts, which you could sub in a pinch. If you like the pungency of black pepper, finish with an additional sprinkle.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime rind
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon canola mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups baby kale
  • 1 1/2 cups ruby red grapefruit sections (about 2 large grapefruit)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans hearts of palm, rinsed, drained, and cut diagonally into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 small red chile, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe peeled avocado, cut into thin wedges

This is a very easy salad to put together. I really like the flavors. The red onion I had purchased as bad so ours didn't have onion which it definitely needed. Next time I would add the heat from the pepper right into the dressing.

I have made this twice in the last two days because it's so good. This got my two-year-old to eat kale! I will definitely be making this a meal staple.
