Swiss Chard Salad

The nice thing about growing chard in your garden is that it is great both cooked and raw! Tender chard makes a refreshing change from lettuce in this lovely salad.

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

• 1 small bunch green Swiss chard
• 1 medium red or orange bell pepper
• 1/4 c chopped toasted almonds
• 1/3 c Za’atar Croutons or any croutons
• 2-3 Tbsp Apricot Salad Dressing

Directions:

1. Carefully wash and dry chard. Remove any tough stems and break the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2. Remove seeds from bell pepper and cut into thin strips. (You should have about 4-6 cups of trimmed chard.)
3. Place chard and bell pepper in a large salad bowl and sprinkle on the nuts and croutons.
4. Drizzle with apricot dressing and serve immediately.
