Avocado, Artichoke Hearts and Heart of Palm Salad served in Lettuce Wraps


From Ingrid Hoffman

1 (14-ounce) can small artichoke hearts in water, drained

1 (14-ounce) can hearts of palm, cut into medium chunks, drained
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 poblano pepper, seeded, ribbed, and finely chopped
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves coarsely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 avocados, cut in large chunks
3 tablespoons white vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 head butter lettuce, leaves whole, rinsed and dried

In a medium bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, cucumber, onion, poblano, and cilantro. Add the avocado and drizzle with vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully mix, taking care not to break up the avocadoes.

To serve, spoon the salad into the butter lettuce cups.
