Hearts of Palm Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette

One of these days I’m going to get a tiny heart-shaped pastry cutter and cut thick slices of hearts of palm into heart shapes. Wouldn’t they have been adorable in this easy and refreshing Hearts of Palm Salad? Today, however, a day that found me running errands and cleaning my hardwood floors, I wanted something simple, but unique.  I decided to throw my favorite salad “add ins” into a bowl without the lettuce, and toss it with champagne vinaigrette. It’s pretty fancy food to be enjoying during the playoffs, but around here there is more to baseball watching than hot dogs and a bag of peanuts!
