  1. Roughly chop the chard leaves. Set aside. Dice the chard stems. Set aside in a separate bowl.
  2. In a wide skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, celery, and some salt and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the diced Swiss chard stems and the garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Chef Tips

Use ruby or rainbow chard to make this salad. Their brightly colored stems will glow on your plate like jewels.
Walnuts are one heart-healthy, cancer-fighting nut! They are rich in antioxidants, ALA omega 3 fats, B vitamins and minerals.
