Ingredients

1 pound trimmed chard stalks (from about 4 large bunches)
1 clove garlic, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup tahini
½ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2-4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Strip any tough strings from chard stalks. Cook in the boiling water until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain; pat dry.
Meanwhile, use a fork to mash garlic with salt to make a paste. Mix in a small bowl with tahini. Gradually whisk in lemon juice: at first it will thicken and turn very hard, but keep mixing! Whisk in oil and enough water to yield a consistency for drizzling.
Arrange the chard on a platter. Drizzle with 1/4 cup sauce and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with more of the sauce on the side, if desired.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate sauce (Step 3) for up to 5 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
