Preperation

1. Bring lightly salted water to a serious boil in a large pot.

2. While waiting, peel and grate beets.

2. Chop up stems of swiss chard and set aside; blanch the leaves of swiss chard in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes.

3. When the swiss chard has wilted, strain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Press out excess water or the flavor will be diluted. Chop into 2-3 inch sizes and put in bowl.

4. Add the grated beets and walnuts the chopped swiss chard stems (or treat as celery and do what you would with celery) and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Top with goat cheese and serve that shit up.

it's nice because it's raw-ish and raw foods are better. something to do with the nutrients staying intact.
