Millionaire's Salad

Palm trees are well known for the fruit that they bear, and their large pointy leaves. Palm trees can bear a variety of fruits such as coconuts, multiple types of drupes (a class of fleshy fruit that surrounds a hard pit, think peach) and acai berries. The center of the tree itself is also edible, but cultivating it generally kills the tree. The center of the tree is called the "heart of palm" and when used in a salad, the salad is called a millionaire's salad due to the expense of killing a palm tree. It's obviously not a million dollar endeavor, but its relatively expensive to regrow a new palm tree. In recent years there have been a few palm tree species bred to grow multiple trunks and will not die when one of the trunks is cut. A millionaire's salad recipe can be found here.
