    What is Swiss Chard?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It’s time to push the kale and spinach aside because Swiss chard is the underrated leafy green you might be missing out on. Swiss chard has big, beautiful green leaves that are just as hearty as kale, meaning they stay tender and sturdy even after being drenched in salad dressing. The thick stems come in a variety of colors—red, yellow, light green, and striped being the most common—and are just as edible as the leaves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best of all, chard’s mild, earthy flavors are easy to love and pair well with countless vibrant ingredients. I love sauteeing Swiss chard in a little oil & balsamic, but oftentimes I have too<\/em> much of it from my garden – that’s why I created this Swiss Chard Salad Recipe! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To make this gorgeous summer salad, chopped chard leaves and stems are combined with raisins and canned lentils, drenched in a bright and tangy lemon dressing, and topped with a sprinkle of spicy lemon breadcrumbs. Every bite has it all… Complex layers of flavor that all work in harmony, plant protein to keep you full, and wonderful textures to excite your taste buds. I’m craving a bowl right now!<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
