Swiss Chard with Onions and Vinegar

If you’re stuck in the rut of spinach from a plastic clamshell every week, it’s time to get on the Swiss Chard train!

The stems from Swiss chard shouldn’t be thrown in the trash; they add a layer of flavor and texture to any sauté.

A leafy vegetable, Swiss Chard, is the same species as beets. It has crunchy stems that are commonly red, though it can also be yellow or white. The leaves vary in color from dark green to reddish-green. The flavor is comparable to beets and spinach, with a slight bitterness, and strong earthy flavor.
