Instructions

  1. You can reserve some stems and chop them up real fine, and/or sautée them to get rid of any bitter flavors.
  2. After removing the chard stems, roll up a few leaves at a time (into a cigar shape) and slice widthwise to make 1/4 inch strips.
  3. Chop up various fresh vegetables, such as carrots and zucchini in matchsticks if you don't have bell pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, vegetable oil, honey, sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic powder.
  5. Add chard stems and leaves, red cabbage, and peppers to the bowl. Toss to coat. Cover and chill 4 to 24 hours.
