Menu Plan Monday

We've spent a lot of time at the pool lately and I'm trying to grill as much as possible!  Soon I'll post our dinner from last week and how I grilled pizza.  I surprised myself.  There is more to grilling than hamburgers and hotdogs!

Our family loves olive oil.  I use it to cook, make homemade salad dressing, and to moisturize my skin...we love it.  When I BzzAgent asked me if I'd like to try Filippo Berio Olive Oil, I was super excited. 

Tonight we made swiss chard and I started out making a salad dressing, but decided to get crazy and throw it on the chard while it was cooking.  Then, I made more dressing for the actual salad. Both turned out delicious. 

Here is how I did it:

Fry three slices of bacon.  Crumble the bacon and add chopped chard to the pan.  Saute chard until tender (not too tender...I like a little crispy taste.)  Add the dressing (see below) and mix well.  Serve warm.

2 parts olive oil
1 part red wine vinegar
1 tsp dark mustard (We change it up and use all different kinds.  This time it had champagne in it)
1/2 tsp honey

You can use the same dressing for the salad.  I also like to add 1-2 cloves finely minced garlic to the dressing for a raw salad. 

Enjoy!
