Hearts of Palm Guacamole image

This was inspired by two other wonderful hearts of palm recipes: recipe#170418 and recipe#236961. It's great smooth and creamy or chunky with the tomatoes and onion added. If you like heat add a minced jalapeno or cayenne pepper. It tastes close to regular guacamole but is healthier. Hearts of palm are full of nutrients and low calorie.
