Salad Latine Recipe

Serves 2 as main dish or 4 as a side

Chard’s slight bitterness is beautifully balanced by the sweetness of the corn and

grapes, resulting in a surprising depth of flavor.

• 1/2 small white onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• Leaves from 1 bunch chard
• 4 Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels
• 1/4 cup pecan halves
• 1 cup seedless black grapes
• pinch of sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Mince the onion and garlic, then smash them together a couple times with the back of a knife or with a mortar and pestle.

Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly, as it tends to be gritty, then slice it into ribbons by tightly bunching the leaves together and slicing them with a sharp, heavy knife. Place the chard in a salad bowl, add the remaining ingredients, and toss.
