Swiss chard is one of the healthiest veggies you could be eating this winter, but chances are that you don’t know the best way to cook it. Chard would be a great addition to your diet because it’s packed with vitamins and antioxidants, and it can be eaten in many interesting ways.

Salads

The easiest way to put Swiss chard to good use is to mix it up with other leafy greens in your salads, as long as you enjoy eating it raw.

Tortilla Wraps

Speaking of dishes that allow you to put raw Swiss chard to some good use, tortillas are the way to go. You can use Swiss chard as your tortilla wraps and make your dish much healthier and fiber-rich this way.

Stir Fry

Raw Swiss chard isn’t up to everyone’s taste because it’s more bitter this way. If you’re not a huge fan, but still want to give this leafy green a shot, consider tossing it into your next stir fry.

Sautéed Chard

If we had to pick the most delicious way to eat this veggie, sautéed Swiss chard would make the cut. The bitterness will fade away once your chard is sautéed and then you’ll be able to use it in all sorts of different dishes.

Soups

Soups are the ultimate immune-boosting food, and you’ll make them even healthier and more delicious by adding Swiss chard to the mix.
