Lemon Swiss Chard with Feta and Walnuts

Lemon + chard = love. Like I have said before, we are big fans of swiss chard in this house. Adding lemon to this amazing veggie is a quick and easy way to add amazing flavor, as the chard seems to just soak up the lemon. I like to make these greens so many different ways, but I do have to say anything with chard and lemon is my favorite. Not only is it quick and easy, it is so nutritious and makes for a great side dish with just about anything. With the added walnuts and feta, it is absolutely a perfect compliment to almost any entree. Yum, yum.

Ingredients:

• 2 heads swiss chard, cut {or torn} into large 3 inch pieces
  
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
  
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta

1. In a large pot or wok over medium-high heat, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for two minutes or until bubbles begin to form.
2. Add chopped chard to pot and cover for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add walnuts and stir. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until chard is soft and wilted {like cooked spinach}.
4. To drain the excess juice, pour chard mixture into strainer and strain. Transfer chard mixture to serving dish and sprinkle with feta crumbles to top.

Enjoy!
