Chard Slaw

 

A quick vinaigrette tossed on slivers of chard makes for a crunchy unusual side salad that can stand up to a hot main entree or tossed with other delights. Start with the younger more tender leaves and slice them as thin as you possibly can. Why? Because it is pretty and because it makes the green that most folks cook a bit more gentle to eat raw. Include the stems for a extra crunch!

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch chard
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, or your favorite vinegar
  • ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Preparation Instructions

Wash and dry the chard. Stack and roll up. Thinly slice, as paper thin as possible, along the greens holding the stalks at the other end. Thinly slice the stalks as well until you are about a 1/2 inch from the end or until the ends look less edible.

In a large bowl whisk together the dijon and vinegar. Slowly drip in the olive oil while whisking rapidly. Stir in the salt and pepper to finish. Fold in the shredded chard, stirring gently until combined. If it seems too wet with dressing, place the salad in a strainer and shake off any access dressing.
