Ingredients

• 1 bunch rainbow chard
• 1 small onion or shallot, very thinly sliced
• 2 apples or pears, thinly sliced
• ⅓ cup seeds or nuts, optional for "crunch"
• 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 Tbsp finely chopped shallot
• 1 tsp coarse-grain Dijon mustard
• salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Roughly chop the chard- stems and all! - thinly sliced the onion or shallot and fruit of choice.
2. Whisk together oil, vinegar, shallot, Dijon mustard, and ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper in a large serving bowl.
