Simple Swiss Chard


We love swiss chard in our house and this is one of the simple ways we like to enjoy it. I like to pair this with cajun or lemon pepper salmon. It is delish.

Ingredients:
  • 1 head of swiss chard {green, red or rainbow}
  • 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. Rinse and chop {or tear} chard into large pieces {I like to saute some of the smaller parts of the stem as well}.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat olive oil and soy sauce. Combine chard in pan and saute in oil and soy sauce until tender. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Using tongs, remove the swiss chard to a serving dish {discarding extra juices in pan}.
Enjoy!

"Chard is rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Iron and other minerals. Eating swiss chard regularly can help to prevent Iron deficiency anemia, Vitamin A deficiency and osteoporosis. It is also believed to protect from cardiovascular diseases and colon and prostate cancers."
