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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the silverbeet thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, peel the cucumber and cut it into thin rounds, and finely slice the red onion.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched silverbeet, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and toasted walnuts.
Step 7
Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and drizzle on the dressing. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing coats all ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors of this Silverbeet Swiss Chard Salad!
