Prep the faux base
Drain the hearts of palm well and cut them into thin rounds. This is the big secret ✨: visually and texturally, they trick the brain into thinking they are the classic elbow macaroni, but with zero carbs. Pat them dry with a paper towel so they don't water down the salad. - 2
Chop the proteins
Finely shred the chicken breast 🍗 and cut the turkey slices into small squares. - 3
The sweet and salty touch
In a small bowl, mix your fit mayo with the sweetener packet 🥣. Stir well. This perfectly mimics the flavor of the pineapple and sugar from our grandmothers' recipe, but saves us hundreds of calories. - 4
Mix with love
In a large bowl, combine the hearts of palm, chicken, turkey, onion 🧅, bell pepper 🫑, olives 🫒, and cheese 🧀. Pour the sweet-and-salty mayo over everything and mix gently until it's super creamy. - 5
Chill it
Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours ❄️. Patience pays off! The flavors settle and it tastes a thousand times better when it's really cold. Enjoy! ✨
