Wilted Swiss Chard Salad

Swiss chard finely chopped (the younger the leaves the better)
2 red onions sliced thinly and sauted in butter
4 carrots finely sliced

Place ingredients in bowl.

Sauce:
Mix 1 1/2 cups cream with
enough vinegar to make it thin (about 1/4- 1/2 cup)
Add 2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
pinch of pepper

Bring to a boil and pour over first three ingredients. The hot dressing wilts the swiss chard and it is delicious!
