I love the low carb asparagus and tomato salad with hearts of palm, and if you haven’t tried hearts of palm, they really are amazing in salads!

Install the salad to try it later!

I like to take things out of the fridge or pantry and do experiments to see what I can come up with, and this Asparagus and tomato salad with hearts of palm I started with Hearts of Palm which is one of my favorite salad ingredients. I also have fresh asparagus in the fridge and garden-grown chives, although you can definitely use green onions if that’s what you have on hand. I added a few small grape tomatoes which I started buying in the spring when I crave the flavor of the tomatoes.

Mixed with a sour vinaigrette, this salad would make a great side dish Grilled chicken breastOr anything cooked on the grill! And when I can have an easy meal that includes hearts of palm, asparagus, and grilled salmon, I’m happy.
