Method

  1. Blend all the ingredients for the dressing except the oil in a food processor on a slow speed. Add the oil slowly, with the motor running, to make an emulsion.
  2. Heat a pan over very low heat, add the garlic and enough oil to cover. Cook until golden brown and crisp. Drain.
  3. Peel the avocados, remove the stones and slice. Toss the mixed leaves with some of the dressing.
  4. Layer the tomato, avocado and leaves on 4 plates, adding some of the dressing to each layer. Sprinkle the crunchy garlic and the palm hearts on top.

    Very unusual and really very nice. I had to add more oil to the dressing, as it came up as more of a paste, but it was lovely. I had never eaten palm hearts before, but they were very tasty. Was slightly wary of the fried garlic slices over the top, but they were fantastic and added a real interesting crunch to the salad. Served alongside a grilled pork tenderloin in chipotle sauce (also on this site) and it was a really fantastic meal.
