Mixed Greens Tart – Fiber, Iron, and Antioxidants
This Mixed Greens Tart is perfect for an appetizer or brunch and makes an ideal side dish for lunch or dinner.
Leafy dark organic green vegetables are considered one of the most potent cancer-preventing foods. They are loaded with fiber, iron, and antioxidants, with no fat and minimal sodium.
Use your favorite greens, or maybe a combination of two or three to make this Mixed Greens Tart. I used some Swiss chard and beet greens, but you could also use kale or spinach or mustard greens, etc.
If you want to make this ahead of time, prepare the filling up to a day in advance and then finish just before serving.
