Ingredients:

1 bunch chard, washed and dried

3 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup chopped raw walnuts

2 tart apples, such as Pink Lady, cored and chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper

Directions:

Remove the center stems from the chard leaves and slice into thin slices.  Chop the chard leaves into 2-inch pieces.

 Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the walnuts.  Cook for about 1 minute to toast them.  Add the apples and cook for 1 minute more.  Toss in the chard and the stem pieces and stir-fry until heated through and the chard takes on a bright color.  Season with balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.  Serves 4
