I rely mostly on chard. It's not lettuce, but it's a leafy green that can be eaten raw.

Is there some way to make it taste good? I have a ton of it in the garden, but I don't like the taste.

I like chard. Raw, cooked, however... It must be a personal taste thing.

I pick the leaves small, before they get too tough.

I blanch & freeze Chard. To cook, I steam the frozen glob of leaves until tender and serve with a splash of Lemon Juice.

Swiss chard
In a casserole with meat, cheese, tomato sauce. Make it mostly with chard. You can omit the meat or put it just in one corner

Does chard taste like beet greens? I know they’re very closely related, but I haven’t tasted chard yet.

My favorite way to eat beet greens is to chop it fine and mix it in with spaghetti sauce. Or, chop fine, heat it up just enough to wilt, and add to a cream soup or cover it in gravy.

(”Cover it in gravy” is a great way to eat most green leafy things, in my opinion. I’m not much of a green-leafies person.)
