Drain hearts of palm in a colander while you prep the remaining ingredients.  Be sure to toss the avocados with 3 tbsp. of lime juice as you wait to assemble salad.  Once drained, slice hearts of palm into ½ inch pieces.  If too thick, slice pieces in half.  Combine all ingredients but last of lime juice in a large bowl.  Gently toss and then add lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.  Toss gently just before serving and place in an appropriate serving dish.
