I recently received a bunch of swiss chard in my CSA box and was not sure how to use it.  This salad was amazing! The colors and flavors were salad perfection.  The dressing was a great complement to the greens and veggies.

So tasty &amp; fresh! I used full grown yellow swiss chard sliced &amp; diced up the stems. The dressing did a great job softening and reducing any bitterness.  I don't like olives so I included some pickled artichokes for that brine flavour. Even my salad hating partner loved it and ate seconds!

This was a delicious salad. I just feel great when I eat like this! I added more tomatoes, but didn't change anything else. Thank you!

I used Swiss Chards and this salad is so tasty. I'm in love.

I belong to a community agriculture plan  and I have struggled every time there is fresh Swiss chard in the bag. I have tried every which way to use the plant. I literally either chocked it done steamed roasted or tossed it in the bin after letting it spoil in the fridge.
I made this salad today and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS recipe. My husband even said, wow, than looks great and served himself a delicious bowl full.
