You can use spinach instead of chard.

6-7 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3-4 tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice

a pinch of salt
black pepper to taste

Method:
1. Cut the cabbage and the chard into very thin strips. In a large bowl, combine cabbage, chard, walnuts, oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, and gently mix all together.
