Mom's Swiss Chard & Quinoa Salad

Mom's Swiss Chard & Quinoa Salad


This recipe & images were contributed by my mom.  She recommends serving this salad with baked chicken.

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 large white Onion, diced
2 Tablespoons minced Garlic
1 Cup Quinoa
2 Cups Chicken Broth
5 Beet Green Leaves
5 Swiss Chard Leaves
2 Tablespoons chopped Pecans
1 Cup Pomegranate Seeds

 Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil to a saucepan.  Heat the oil over medium heat.  When the oil is hot, add the diced onion and minced garlic.  Saute until the onions start to brown.


 
Bring 2 Cups of chicken broth to a boil.  Add 1 cup of quinoa.  Reduce heat and simmer until all the water is absorbed (10-15 minutes.)

  
Thoroughly wash the beet greens and the swiss chard, pat dry with a paper towel, and break into bite size pieces.



In a medium to large bowl, combine the greens, onions and garlic, quinoa, pomegranate seeds, and pecans.  The chard melts into the quinoa.  Serve with your favorite pomegranate  dressing.



  Bon appetit!
