Simple Meals with Swiss Chard





Swiss chard is a very colorful vegetable found at farmers’ market and grocery stores. The stems of this leafy green are usually red, yellow, pink and purple.  It is often used in place of spinach or other leafy greens. Want to try Swiss chard with your family this fall, try these recipes:




  • Add Swiss chard to canned beans for a healthy side dish. Greens & Beans is a quick and easy side dish idea with lots of flavor.

  • Include in your fall soup recipes.  Lentil, Mushroom, and Swiss Chard Soup is a hearty soup that will make for a great weeknight dinner. Swiss chard could be added to any of your other soup recipes, too.

  • Use in place of spinach when making sandwiches and wraps. Swiss chard is a great alternative to regular lettuce and adds a burst of flavor.

  • Saute Swiss chard in a small amount of vegetable oil for a quick and easy side dish. Flavor with minced garlic or onion  or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to taste.



When preparing Swiss chard, make sure to wash the leaves and stems thoroughly to remove any dirt.  Kids can help prepare by tearing the leaves apart or using a lettuce knife to help chop before cooking.
