I worried about this recipe. I adore Heidi Swanson over at 101cookbooks.com. She’s innovative, special and very real – and so are her recipes. I fell in love with this Hazelnut & Chard Ravioli Salad Recipe last week and planned to make it for some friends on Saturday night. But she’s all vegetarian, all the time. So when our friends canceled on Saturday night (Hope you’re feeling better, Kim!), I worried that this all-vegetarian recipe wouldn’t be enough for my all-carnivore husband (he daydreams about a pig tattoo blessing his arm). I decided to throw my hands in the air and throw it all to the wind, let what will be will be.

I am so glad I did. Not only did my husband clean his plate, but he said the last thing I thought he would say…

“Wow, this is very filling.”

I served it hot, not cold as one may serve a salad. I also bought some fresh, yummy butternut squash-pumpkin ravioli from Whole Foods. I’m so sad my friends missed out. It was truly comforting. (Heidi’s photo is much better, but I’m learning; baby steps.)
