Swiss Chard and Orange Salad

I love this swiss chard and orange salad! It’s really simple to make but the flavors are delicious and I always go back for seconds and even thirds.

Swiss chard is delicious when kept raw, I love the flavor. It’s earthy and delicious and probably one of my favorite greens. I used rainbow chard in this salad pictured but you can use any variety.

This salad also has segmented orange in it so you get little pops of sweetness with your swiss chard and the flavors really compliment each other.

The dressing is simple, just salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar. You can use white vinegar for a more straightforward vinegar taste or red wine vinegar for a slightly more subtle vinegar taste, both are delicious.
