1 tsp grated Orange zest
3 Tbs Orange juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbs Balsamic vinegar
4 Tbs Olive oil
1 bunch Chard, rinsed and torn into pieces

Slice the pears into 1/4 inch thick slices, set aside. Combine the garlic, zest, orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Warm the dressing in a sauce pan over medium heat and add the pear slices, gently turning until coated and warm (about 2 minutes).
