I sauteed some Swiss chard to add to my noodles tonight. I prefer Swiss chard over spinach because of the mellower flavor and thicker stems.

Swiss chard is one of the most nutritious vegetables in the market; the vegetable prevents colon cancer, provides minerals for better bone health, and has beta-carotene as vision nutrients.

Although Swiss chard’s season starts in June and ends in August, you can still find the last batches in the farmer’s market.

My secret for adding flavors to any dish…browning smoked bacon on medium heat…

and adding garlic after the bacon has become crispy.

Chopped Swiss Chard.

After cooking Swiss chard for 5 minutes with medium heat…the vegetable wilted, but still had some bite.

Dinner within 20 minutes!
