When it comes to leafy greens, we think Swiss chard deserves more attention. It's loaded with vitamins, it's available for most of the year (we're talkin' March to late fall), and it cooks up in a flash! You can't go wrong with a simple sauté in garlic and olive oil, finished with a squeeze of lemon.

Made this? Let us know how it went in the comment section below!

Ingredients

Directions

1. Step 1Remove stems from chard and dice into 1/4" pieces. Tear or chop leaves into 2" pieces.
2. Step 2In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add chard stems, season with salt, and sauté until mostly tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and chili flakes if using and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Step 3Add chard leaves and cook, stirring often, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then squeeze lemon juice over chard and stir to combine. Season with more salt to taste and serve immediately.
