Since we had our first really cold night, and the Swiss Chard won't last much longer, I'm harvesting the remainder today and it will be chopped and is going into the freezer for winter soups and stews. If you don't grow Swiss Chard, why not? It's super easy, heat-tolerant (you'll have it all summer for salads), delicious and beautiful!

11 Ways to Use Swiss Chard

Salad: eat the leaves raw in a salad.

Sandwich: use the raw leaves in a sandwich, just like lettuce.

Wrap: use large, raw leaves as a sandwich wrap.

Soup: add chopped leaves and chopped stems to soups.

Saute: saute leaves the same way you’d saute spinach or kale.

Eggs: chop the leaves and add to scrambled eggs, omelets, or quiche.

Breakfast taco: fill your wrap of choice with scrambled eggs, shredded chard leaves, and favorite toppings.

Roast: chop and roast the stems with oil, salt, and pepper.

Dehydrate: dry the leaves and save for future use in soups or eggs, etc. Dry chopped stems for future soups.

Freeze: blanch and freeze the leaves for future use in soups, eggs, or even a saute.

Ferment: chop and ferment stems for adding probiotics and enzymes to your diet.
