I have a garden and grow my own swiss chard and also can fresh tuna each season. To that I added tomatoes from the greenhouse. I was surprised at how mellow the flavor of the raw chard is with the tuna. They're a really great combo. I'm so happy to come across this recipe! Chard grows really well here on the southern Oregon coast. We grow a ton of it because our chickens love it. I only have a few ways that I prepare chard, so it's always really cool to run across an easy recipe that I really like and always have the ingredients on hand.

This recipe has gone into my 'favorites' book - I have a notebook with plastic page covers for recipes that I have tried and that got a thumbs up from my hubby.

If you try it you will never look back at regular canned tuna. It would make your recipe even better. It is the only kind I use and everyone who tastes my tuna salad raves and asks for the recipe. It's because of the silky and luscious tuna in olive oil. I still drain most of the oil and add a little mayo, mustard and sometimes yogurt to make it healthier. Try it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-79944082188385442212008-06-13T06:30:00.000-05:002008-06-13T06:30:00.000-05:00sounds wonderful! we ate buckets and buckets of ch...sounds wonderful! we ate buckets and buckets of chard called "blette" in french. the baby really like the green parts and i use the stalks for a lot of things, but havent made this it this way, so i'll try it! thank you!Riana Lagardehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109433903018201393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-35671031688401538062008-06-12T22:20:00.000-05:002008-06-12T22:20:00.000-05:00I don't grow my own, but my local produce market (...I don't grow my own, but my local produce market (in Berkeley, CA) carries fantastic organic chard, so I made a batch of this salad this evening.
