Lemon & Parmesan Rainbow Chard Salad with Breadcrumbs

1 bunch rainbow chard
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
sea salt to taste
crushed red pepper flakes,
1/2 lemon
grated Parmesan, Grana Padano or Pecorino to taste

 


Wash and dry the chard and remove the stems from the leaves.

 Stack a few of the leaves on top of each other, roll them like a cigar and cut the cigar into thin ribbons. Repeat until all the leaves are shredded. Put the leaves into a large salad bowl.
Warm half of the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are crisp and golden brown (about 3 minutes). 

Stir in the garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and let them toast for another minute, then remove from the heat.
Zest the lemon into the bowl of chard. Juice the lemon into a small mixing bowl. Add a few generous pinches of salt. Slowly whisk in the rest of the olive oil.
Add the Parmesan and about ⅔ of the lemon dressing to the bowl. Toss until nicely coated. Taste and add more dressing if needed. Toss in the toasted bread crumbs and serve immediately.
