Preparation

Step 1
Bring 2 large pots of water to boil. Add the carrots and cook just until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, add the Swiss chard to the second pot of water and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of cold water. Drain, press out all of the water, chop coarsely and set aside.
Step 2
Whisk together remaining ingredients except salt and pepper. Add the carrots and Swiss chard and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
