Trim the ends of the stems, rinse and clean the leaves as required.

Fold the leaves in half or thirds and do a kind of large chiffonade, cutting
the leaves and stems into sideways strips.

Put the strips into a large frying pan with a small amount of water. Cover
and bring the water to a boil, let boil 30 seconds and turn off, toss the
chard and let sit a little until almost tender.

Toss the chard with vinagrette and chill. Eat very cold.

Vinagrette:

Wine vinegar
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Salt

Mix 1 part wine vinegar, 1/2 part lemon juice, and 2 parts olive oil with
salt to taste. Toss with chard.
