Preparation

Step 1

Tear chard leaves from ribs in large pieces. Slice ribs 1/4 inch thick, reserving leaves separately.

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then saute chard ribs and garlic with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper until ribs are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Cool to room temperature.

Stack chard leaves, then tightly roll into a cigar shape and very thinly slice crosswise. Toss leaves with ribs, lemon juice, mozzarella, and salt and pepper to taste.
