A quick and tasty meal. Even my picky teenager and her friend liked it. It actually tasted pretty good as leftovers eaten cold like a pasta salad. Serve with Caesar salad and cheesy garlic bread.

SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH BACON



Sauteed Swiss Chard With Bacon image

Here's an easy, quick and savory recipe for Swiss chard from zany, excellent Chef Anne Burrell. It's one of my favorites! Chard is one of the super leafy greens packed with minerals and vitamins as well as a healthy dose of fiber. It tastes a lot like spinach with a slightly stronger taste, depending on the cooking method. Use regular olive oil, not virgin, for best flavor. Reduce the amount of bacon if desired.
