Ensalada de Palmitos y Maíz (Hearts of Palm and Corn Salad)
Hearts of Palms (palmitos) are a vegetable that comes from the core of the stem of certain palm trees. They taste a lot like artichokes, but I like the taste and texture of palmitos better. Canned hearts of palm are packed in water and can be found in Latin markets and large supermarkets in the.
