Mélanie's Salad

This is Mélanie's salad. I love it and always have since the day I put it in my mouth! She makes it better of course, it's originally her dad's recipe. It's a vinegary, savory, happy texture party in your mouth. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It works in all seasons, not just summer. She says the trick is in the olives and palm hearts! If your olives are great, and your palm hearts tender, your salad will be great.
