1

Trim the asparagus ends of the stalks and discard. Next cut the remaining stalks into one-inch pieces.

2

Open and drain the liquid from the hearts of palm. Slice into thin (about one-quarter inch) coin shapes.

3

In a blender, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, red onion, basil, vinegar, avocado, and mustard.

4

Blend to mix ingredients. Add two tablespoons of water and season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend again to mix. Add more water if you want a thinner consistency.

5

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. When the water boils, add asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

6

Immediately remove the asparagus from the water using a slotted spoon and plunge it into an ice water bath. Let it fully cool in the water, for about five minutes. When cooled, drain well.

7

Combine the diced tomato, hearts of palm, olives, and cooled asparagus in a bowl. Add the dressing and toss to lightly coat all the chopped ingredients with the dressing.

8

Once mixed, serve up in a serving bowl or on plates topped with toasted almonds and fresh basil strips.
