Of course, you can do all this stuff yourself and make a "homemade" version of it with fresh ingredients, but I used the cans. Artichoke and Heart of Palm Salad is incredible. You can take it to your cook out or potluck, and nobody will eat it because nobody knows what the hell a Heart of Palm is. That means you get to take it home and eat it all.

Ingredients

  • One 16 ounce can of Hearts of Palm. Packed in water is preferable.
  • One 16 ounce can of artichoke hearts. I prefer the quarters as they are bite sized. Also, don't use the marinated ones.
  • One block of solid feta cheese.
  • 20 or 30 large Spanish Queen olives. I have used the feta stuffed and the garlic stuffed. Both are good.
  • Frank's Red Hot© to taste. You will need the vinegar and salt in this sauce to help the final product.
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • MSG
  • One lime
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Olive Oil

Drain all canned ingredients and take the olives out of their jar. No packing liquid is needed. In a large mixing bowl, dump the artichokes. Take the hearts of palm out of the can. They will look like long white cylinders. Slice them up into bite sized pieces. Put them and the whole olives in the bowl with the artichokes.

Cube the feta cheese to whatever size you like. I suggest going on the larger bite size as it tends to crumble and we are going to be mixing this mess once it's all in the bowl.

Once all of that stuff is in the mixing bowl, this is the part were things get iffy. It depends on your taste as to how far you want to add the salt, pepper, MSG, and Frank's Red Hot. One thing that cannot be omitted is the lime. You must add the juice of a whole lime and a bit of the zest. I'm not saying to zest the whole lime, but the more you put in, the more interesting this salad will taste.

Anyways, combine all of the seasonings into the bowl and give it a pretty good mix. You want the olive oil, hot sauce, and vinegar to coat everything. Put it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. That part is important, you want all the flavors to mix and infuse the vegetables.

Serve with your favorite cookout items. It is crisp and unctuous at the same time. The lime adds something that isn't expected but at the same time makes it delicious.
