Chard
Chard is another versatile leafy green vegetable that’s often more intimidating than it should be. Preparing chard is very simple-- just rinse away any dirt from the leaves, then tear or cut out the center stem before slicing the leaves into thin ribbons. The easiest way to cook these ribbons is to then season and sauté the leaves (alone or in combination with other vegetables or meats). You can find this tasty and healthy veggie at the market in early summer.
