Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Silverbeet (Swiss chard)
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 50 grams Walnuts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the silverbeet thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the silverbeet leaves for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, peel the cucumber and cut it into thin rounds, and finely slice the red onion.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched silverbeet, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and toasted walnuts.
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and drizzle on the dressing. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of this Silverbeet Swiss Chard Salad!
