Yummiest Salad Ever

Is yummiest a word?  If it isn't than it should be created to describe this salad.  I ate this recently at a friends house and while I have yet to make it myself, it was so good I've spent nights dreaming about it!
What makes up this scrumptious looking delight?  Well I'll tell you!

  • 2 large Swiss chard leaves (fold and cut with kitchen scissors)

  • 1 cup cooked quiona

  • cup of black beans

  • sliced cucumber

  • halved grape tomatoes

  • big bunch of cilantro (when I make this next time, I'll leave this out)

  • 4 - 5 onion greens, chopped

  • halved olives (black or just green - I choose black!)
Drizzle the above with olive oil, balsalmic vinegar and a few drops of stevia.  Sprinkl with sea salt and pepper and ENJOY! 

And you will certainly enjoy this!  I was a bit apprenhensive because onion greens, cilantro and Swiss chard leaves would not go into my list of favorite vegetbales but combined with everything else, it was divine.  Tasted like a perfect summer day; yummy, crunchy, cold - just plain good!
