Rainbow Chard & Strawberry Salad

This is a salad that I have been making for quite some time. It makes for a really refreshing summer meal that has nice sweet and sour notes. I really don't follow any strict measurements and just mix the ingredients in the quantity that looks good in my salad bowl. I made this salad again yesterday but forgot to take pictures - will whip it up again soon and post some photos. Till then here is how to go about it:

INGREDIENTS

  • 5-6 leaves and stalks of rainbow chard - finely chopped (can you any kind of chard)
  • 1 handful of strawberries - sliced
  • 1 handful of cherry tomatoes - halved
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • Lightly Roasted walnuts (optional)
  • Goat cheese (optional)
  • salt & pepper
PROCESS
  1. Cut the chard into thin slices.
  2. Add the chopped strawberries and tomatoes
  3. Dressing: Mix the olive oil+honey+lime juice and salt pepper in a small bowl
  4. Drizzle the dressing on the salad - if need be mix in additional honey or lime juice depending how sweet or sour you want it to be
  5. Toast the walnuts on a low flame till they are fragrant.
  6. Garnish with roasted walnuts and goat cheese
