We love swiss chard and my green chard grows like a weed, the rainbow has never done well here :( Diane
Our chard "wintered over," too! We like to saute some garlic in olive oil, then add the chard to cook until wilted. Love it!
An over-abundance of produce sometimes can be the best inspiration! Your rainbow chard does look so fresh and vibrant. Your recipe is the perfect way to bring out all that great flavor. Yum!
Oh I love Swiss chard and this is the perfect way to enjoy it!

My dad loves swiss chard but I refused to eat it when I was a kid. It's kinda growing on me now... I'm going to save this recipe for when his crop comes in!
This recipe looks yummy!! I'd have to make it for myself I don't think anyone else would eat it. Stopping by via the Friendship Friday Hop.
