Baby chard leaves
« on: July 25, 2009, 18:32 »
Please excuse me if this is a very obvious and stupid question, but can small chard leaves be used in salads?

I was a bit heavy-handed at sowing time and now they need some equally heavy-handed thinning ::).
My music teacher was right. If you have to make a mistake, make it good and big and loud; with a bit of luck people will think that it was always meant to be like that.

Yes, I think so  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I use the really small ones, I find the stalks are a bit tough if they're much bigger - but then i just use them in a stir fry instead - yummy!

Thanks, we're having stir-fry tomorrow so I'll try them in that and hubby can road test them as salads in his sarnies for work  :D.
