The garden is bright with Rainbow chard this week. Finally, there is enough growing that it can stand alone as the main part of a dish.
I do try to make greens with every meal, but it isn't always easy to come up with different ideas after weeks of serving it. Here are 5 recipes that make swiss chard the main focus, offered by Foodista readers. Do you have a favorite way to eat this flavorful veg, that is not listed here? Send it in!
