- lettuce leaves
- juice of 1 fresh lime
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- optional
- 1 large vine ripened tomato, chopped
- 1 red or yellow sweet pepper, chopped
- 1 recipe mayonnaise (see below)

Cut the heart of palm into small bite sized pieces and pile on lettuce lined plates. Sparingly, squeeze lime juice through a strainer to catch the pulp and seeds. Add a tiny dash of salt and fresh pepper.
