Swiss Chard Salsa Verde Recipe

  • 1/2 small bunch Swiss chard, preferably red or rainbow
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup (or more) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon (or more) red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  1. Remove ribs and stems from chard leaves and reserve. Finely chop leaves (you should have about 1 3/4 cups); thinly slice ribs and stems crosswise. Combine chard leaves and ribs and stems, shallot, oil, chives, vinegar, and lemon zest in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Add more vinegar or oil, if desired.
