"This simple but delicious side dish can be made with almost any kind of green but my personal favourite is red-veined Swiss chard as the green and red make such a pretty presentation. From Williams-Sonoma Italian Favourites."

    Never had swiss chard before, but rcv'd it in the weekly basket of co-op produce. This is the first recipe that came up on my search, so I tried it. Loved the balsamic vinegar but next time would add another clove of garlic.

    Standard chard recipe. I used a little extra garlic.

    This is an excellent, basic recipe for Swiss Chard. Anyone who likes Chard will enjoy this one and it couldn't be easier to make.

    I never remembered liking swiss chard as a little girl...everytime my mother made it, it was always a little "off" tasting. Your recipe gave me a good reason to give chard another try and I found myself enjoying it--still not my favorite, but it's different. Thanks for sharing!

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
