Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup red onion, sliced thin

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 14-ounce can hearts of palm, drained, rinsed
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 a jalapeno, finely diced
- 1/4-1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 avocado (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine the sliced red onion, lime juice, and salt. Allow the onion to marinate in the lime juice for about 10 minutes. This will help mellow the onion's sharpness.

3. Add the sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, finely diced jalapeno, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the hearts of palms.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the coriander, olive oil, and a squeeze of lime juice. Pour this dressing over the hearts of palm mixture and toss gently to coat.
5. Drain the marinated red onions and add them to the bowl with the other ingredients. Mix everything together gently to combine.
6. Taste the ceviche and adjust the seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. If desired, you can also add diced avocado for extra creaminess.
7. Refrigerate the Hearts of Palm Ceviche for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing and tangy Hearts of Palm Ceviche as a light appetizer or a side dish. It pairs well with tortilla chips or can be enjoyed on its own.
