This creamy, delicious salad tastes like it is a luxury but in reality it is a very healthy side dish to share with your sweethearts on Valentine Day or any other day you want to show your love.
Rebekah of Making Miracles is hosting our group this week and invited us to join her singing....
You gotta have heeearrrttttttttt!! Happy almost Valentine's Day! Interpret this literally or figuratively. Is your recipe full of the love you poured into it, does it actually contain some type of heart, or is it heart shaped? Be creative!
I can't read that without breaking into song. You too? Only me? Sigh.
Let's see what everyone is sharing from their heart today........

I decided to take Rebekah's invitation both literally and figuratively. So I made this salad that contains Hearts of Palm. It also contains avocado which is a Heart healthy food. Not too mention that it is very tasty so my husband's and daugther's Hearts were happy.

ReplyDeleteIt sure was Cathy.
DeleteWendy, after reading you post, listened to the song. Heart of palm is what is sold in Mombasa sometimes as street food. It is usually cut into thin strips and enjoyed raw. Next time will use them for a salad.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine Day Mayuri.
