Pear, Hearts of Palm, and Brie with Walnut Crème Dressing

Hearts of palm have a familiar, enticing taste not unlike artichoke, yet they’re different.
I love ‘em. I think you will, too.

Salad:
     Lettuce for 4 people
     4-8 ounces Brie, still chilled and firm
     (easier to cut this way)
     One 14-ounce can hearts of palm, drained
     One 15-ounce can pear halves in light syrup

Put mounds of lettuce on individual plates.  
Cut 1-2 ounces of Brie per serving into bite-sized
pieces.  Sprinkle atop lettuce.   Cut stalks of palms
into 1/4” discs, about one stalk’s worth per plate,
and sprinkle atop lettuce and Brie. Place one pear
half on top of each salad, then drizzle Walnut Creme
dressing over all.

To Make Dressing:
     One cup heavy cream or whipping cream
     1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
     2 tablespoons rice vinegar
     2 teaspoons prepared horseradish

In a small to medium bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients, then pour over salads.

Serves 4
