Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped Swiss chard, stems removed (about 4 to 5 medium leaves)
- 6 slices cucumber
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red radish, thinly slided
- 1/3 cup croutons
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegan Caesar dressing (see note)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prep the Swiss chard leaves: Rinse the chard, then remove the thick stem from the chard leaves you are using. Coarsely chop the leaves, and place in a large salad bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the chard.
- Add the other veggies on top of the chard.
- Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss to combine. I prefer to toss the salad with my hands, as it helps to evenly distribute the dressing. But you can use salad tongs if you would like.
- Top the salad with croutons. You can also add a couple extra tomatoes or cucumbers to the top if you like. Enjoy along with the rest of your meal!
Notes
- Salad dressing: I suggest starting with 1 1/2 tablespoons, and you can add a bit more if the initial amount doesn’t seem like enough. I use a vegan Caeser salad dressing, but you could use regular Caesar or other creamy dressings for a similar taste.
