Colorful Garlicky Salad with a Crunch

Colorful Garlicky Salad with a Crunch

Ingredients: 4-5 leaves Swiss chard; 2 handfuls of baby spinach; 2 handfuls of snow peas ; 3-4 red radishes; 1 green garlic; ½ lb. ham; 1-2 tbsp chopped parsley; 1 lemon, juice only; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 pinch of Himalayan salt

Preparation: Wash the chard, remove the tough stems and cut up the leaves into bite size pieces (I used kitchen shears). Put them in a large bowl. Wash the baby spinach, remove the long stems and toss the leaves in with the chard. Wash the snow peas,  snap the top of the pod off and pull down to remove the string from the seam. Cut or snap the pods in two and add them to the bowl. Clean, wash and cut up the radishes and the green garlic. Cut up the ham into bite-size pieces. Add all to the bowl. Season with lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Serve immediately.
