I planted Bright Lights swiss chard a few years back. It was my first time planting it. I wasn’t really sure how to prepare it, so cut it up like celery into salad. It was OK, but probably not the best way to use it. Any suggestions? BTW, it looks great in the yard, very colorful.
Think of swiss chard as spinach and cook the same way.
Steam and then fry with bacon drippings and onion.
Steam and serve with butter.
Steam and serve with a salad dressing, I like the Safeway brand of Ranch Dressing.
Chop the greens and mix with other greens/lettuce for a raw salad.
Chop and toss in the stew pot.
Chop and stirfry with onions, celery, squash and, serve over rice.
The young leaves, I pinch and use as lettuce on sandwiches, the first is always cheese with mustard and chard.
Now I am hungry.
Chard is very good for you and dries well too.
