This is a variation of a salad that my mother thaught me to make. She in turn, got the recipe from a French cookbook. I modified the recipe by substituting home made mayonnaise with low fat mayonaise and adding dijon mustard. My mother used to serve it stuffed in a large tomato, but for the sake of economy, I just serve it with sliced tomatoes.

This recipe takes a little bit of time, but first few steps can be prepared ahead of time.

* If using mature swiss chard, separate stalk from base of leaf and chop and steam stalk for a few minutes until slightly tender. (I precooked mine in microwave steamer).

Using a hearty multi-grain gives this French toast lots of texture and is very filling. I topped mine with a berry sauce which I made with 1 cup of berries and a little honey to sweeten.
