How was this recipe created?

Michelle loves hearts of palm and is always looking for ways to be creative using it in recipes. Michelle had the idea to add some crunchy noodles. That led to this Asian style flair dish complete with juicy sweet mandarin pieces. Avocado adds some creaminess and a simple honey lime dressing pulls it all together.

Michelle’s Hearts of Palm and Mandarin Crunchy Noodle Bowl is a complete meal on its own. Also, it would be great alongside grilled marinated tofu, fresh summer rolls and carrot salad.

What are hearts of palm?

Hearts of palm are the succulent center of some varieties of palm tree. Most hearts of palm available in the US come from Costa Rica. You can buy them fresh from Asian supermarkets. Also, they are also widely available in cans and jars.

Why are hearts of palm so great? Firstly, this low-carb vegetable has a firm texture and a delicate crunch. Secondly, they are mildly sweet, low in cholesterol and an amazing source of fibre. Finally, hearts of palm are a great source of potassium and a variety of vitamins. The flavor and texture can be compared to an artichoke.

You can add hearts of palm to many dishes, including omelettes and pies. For the best results, give them minimal interference. Just like in Michelle’s Hearts of Palm and Mandarin Crunchy Noodle Bowl!

Another grain salad choice is Lily’s Sweet Maple Vegetable Barley Salad. This salad features barley, pomegranate seeds, red onion, shredded carrots and fresh herbs and a sweet maple dressing.  Because of the simple ingredients and delicious flavors, this is an ideal no-fuss, high taste dish for lunch or dinner. 

After salad we want something sweet!  For instance:

Kira’s Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies are full of oats and fruits.  They are gooey, oil-free, refined sugar-free, and include all natural ingredients. As well as all that, they are a filling and healthy go-to snack.

Jacqueline’s Raspberry Lemon Meltaways are a zesty and delicious take on a sweet treat. 

Meltaways are usually full of butter and confectioners sugar – undeniably tasty and extremely unhealthy.  Jacqueline’s is healthier because of these alternatives: almond flour and shredded coconut.  They are delicious!

Jacqueline contributed this recipe to honor the female biblical heroine Rebekah in the Feeding Women of the Bible, Feeding Ourselves cookbook.
