- 1 small beet root, scrubbed, trimmed and grated Add to list
Preparation
Blend oils, vinegar, capers, honey, cranberries and tofu until fairly smooth, with bits of cranberries still visible.
Thoroughly clean and trim chard greens. Cross-cut chard stems in 1/2 inch wide pieces, just up to the leaves. Roll leaves together for easier handling and slicing into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons. Clean, trim and slice bok choy similarly. Toss with arugula, spinach, radicchio, onions and cranberries. Chill until ready to toss with dressing.
Just before serving, add nuts and grated beet roots. Toss with just enough dressing to coat the greens lightly. Taste, and add more dressing, if needed.
