📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Salad palmis is a Seychellois salad of heart of palm, the palm's tender growing shoot. Since harvesting it kills the tree, it was once called 'millionaire's salad.' The thinly sliced heart is dressed with lime, oil, and chili, prized for its crunch and delicate sweetness.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a hotel beach restaurant in the Seychelles, a salad of white, thinly sliced palm heart is served with lime and red chili.
