This Swiss chard and tahini salad may be my new favorite.\u00a0 It is definitely Jess\u2019s.\u00a0 After tasting it she said, \u201cCan you please make this every day?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Swiss chard and tahini salad is inspired by traditional Middle Eastern dishes.\u00a0 In the past, we\u2019ve shared recipes that use tahini.\u00a0 Though it\u2019s not all that common in the U.S., for anyone following a low carb diet, it is a wonderful staple. It\u2019s packed with nutrition and works well in many salads, dips, and <a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/recipes\/lemon-tahini-salad-dressing\/\">dressings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This recipe is simple to prepare and makes a great hors d&#8217;oeuvre or a side dish.\u00a0 Jess will tell you it\u2019s a meal all by itself. One of the nice things about Swiss chard and tahini salad is that it it\u2019s not only delicious and filling, but it\u2019s also low carb, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-214\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-31999\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"9c0dfc6ec0\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_31999_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(31999, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.7, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
