Coeur de palmier literally means the heart of a palm tree. It is mainly produced in South American countries, and is sold in canned and bottled form in France and Germany. It has a texture similar to bamboo shoots or white asparagus, and its light taste makes it perfect for salads. This recipe introduces a salad made with coeur de palmier, but you can also make it delicious using white asparagus!

★When cooking in France, we don’t have the habit of eating white rice every day like in Japan, so we start by cooking the rice, but in Japan, the leftover rice that was cooked the day before can be used as a salad the next day. So it’s convenient.
★It is also delicious to make rice with Basmati, an indica rice. Recommended for those who prefer a smooth texture.
★Coeur de Palmier seems to be called Palmit in Japan. If you have a chance to see it at a store, please give it a try. Of course, you can also try white asparagus or bamboo shoots!
★This recipe is an adaptation of a salad my French mother-in-law made for me, who is Japanese, using rice. The idea of using rice in a salad and the use of coeur de palmier, which I was not familiar with, left an impression on me, making it an unforgettable recipe. It’s now one of our favorite salads at home.
