This dish is perfect for Summer as it's light, nourishing, simple, and fast.
Chard is a leafy green powerhouse and is oft underused. This mighty vegetable is packed with iron, potassium, magnesium, fiber, and contains plenty of vitamin A and C.
Chard is a vegetable, much like spinach, that essentially becomes the size of a postage stamp when cooked. As it cooks down so intensely, you're able to casually enjoy a GIANT portion of vegetables at once. This savory cooked chard is delicious on its own and also makes a wonderful side or topping.
Hey, who knows, perhaps Chard will be the next Kale...
