Salt to taste
Slice hearts of palm into 1/4 inch circles. Pop the centers out so they
resemble octopus rings. Retain the centers for the ceviche. Chop all other
ingredients. Mix together gently. Squeeze lime. Serve in chilled margarita
glasses. Salt to taste.
*Remember that citrus heightens the flavor of salt, so you will not need as much.
**Tip for picking an avocado: Pick an avocado that is not overly ripe. It should give a little in your hand but when you pull out the stem it should still be green. If it is brown or black it is already bad. If you get an under-ripe avocado you can simply leave it on the counter to ripen or put it in a brown paper bag on the counter to speed up the process.
***To chop: Cut the avocado in half vertically. Separate the halves. To remove the seed gently whack the blade of your knife into the seed and twist. You will need a large knife to do this. If the seed does not remove easily then your avocado was not ripe. The skin should also peel away easily.
