A creative and healthy stunning salad with my master Chimichurri sauce/condiment

I had fun putting this together! First, I found these amazing FAT asparagus from Mexico. I’ll have to wait a few more weeks until local asparagus are cut from the fields.
I thought Hearts of Palm are a similar size, so I paired the two – and grilled the asparagus for a nice roasted flavor.

To make – cut the asparagus and hearts of palm the same lengths – add to a platter in a
“quilted pattern” and spoon over some Chimichurri.

  Heat grill to meadium- high and grill the asparagus until nice grill marks form; turn over. Close grill and cook on the second side until just cooked through but tender-crisp.
• Add cooked asparagus to the plate, cool

  Cut hearts of palm in half lenthwise - cut asparagus the same lengh.

  Best to add Chimichurri when asparagus is still a bit warm to grab the flavors.

  Enjoy!
