Ensalada Palmito

Ingredients

 * ½ of a palm tree heart (or two 14 oz cans of hearts of palm)
 * lettuce leaves
 * juice of 1 fresh lime
 * salt
 * fresh ground black pepper

optional
 * 1 large vine ripened tomato, chopped
 * 1 red or yellow sweet pepper, chopped
 * 1 recipe mayonnaise (see below)

Directions

 * 1) Cut the heart of palm into small bite sized pieces and pile on lettuce lined plates. Sparingly, squeeze lime juice through a strainer to catch the pulp and seeds. Add a tiny dash of salt and fresh pepper.
 * 2) The optional ingredients can be added together or individually. Mayonnaise can be substituted for the lime, salt, and pepper as is common in restaurants.
