Warm Swiss Chard and Mushroom Salad

This is a simple healthy dish that can be used as a small salad for lunch or a yummy side dish. This is great on its own or would work wonderfully as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, cut into thin strips
  • 10 cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 12 grape tomatoes, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Step by step

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic in the oil until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the Swiss chard to the garlic and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer the chard and garlic to a bowl, reserving any liquid in the skillet and returning it to the heat.
  2. Cook the mushrooms and onion to the reserved liquid in the skillet until warmed, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the balsamic vinegar over the mushroom and onion mixture; cook and stir another 2 to 3 minutes; add to the bowl with the chard mixture along with the tomatoes. Gently mix to incorporate. Toss with the blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
