Eat Your Greens!

At 3 (that's right THREE) calories, 51 mg. of calcium, and off the charts when it comes to vitamin A content at a whopping 2700 I.U.s per one half cup raw, chopped, Swiss Chard is my go to veggie for a healthy side dish. With chard so abundant in the markets and our garden right now, I am always looking for new ways to fix it.

I combined chard with chickpeas last night and it was a big hit. Pairing the crispy, pan sauteed chickpeas with the flavorful chard made for a delicious and easy side dish in about 15 minutes.

Try this one at home tonight! The recipe's in the Summer Recipes Section on the site.
