This simple dish was the recipe of the week for our CSA members. We harvested swiss chard for the first time this season and the plants are looking beautiful and healthy. We plant chard 5 times throughout the farm season and each planting consists of about 700 chard plants. We love this leafy green and it’s always a highlight when we get to include this beautiful vegetable into our CSA boxes.

This seasonal salad is hearty enough to be served as a main course for two people but works well as a side dish for a small crowd. The flavors are fresh, satisfying and the addition of nuts, raisins and fresh herbs take this simple salad to a whole new level. Grab a large bunch of swiss chard, pick up a bottle of you favorite wine and head straight for your kitchen!

Cheers from Tumbleweed!
