Warm Swiss Chard Salad with Peppery Dressing

Diet Info: DF GF F LF Na LS VG V Fa

This fall salad can be served warm or at room temperature. This is my special way to feed veggies to my family. Paring veggies with some nice, tangy and lite dressings elevates their taste and whole family enjoys tasty delicious salads (without need to manage picky eaters).

Swiss Chard is one of my favorite green and today I paired it with peppery and tangy sour cream to make delicious filling and vitamin loaded salad. Worth to mention that black pepper also has good health benefits, try using black pepper as much as you can in place of processed peppers. Ready in 10 minutes, this salad is a winner in every aspect – taste, ease and above all good health.
