My BFF and I were traveling to some important destination (ROAD TRIP!) and visited a Whole Foods that served up something along the lines of this recipe. It was so delicious that when I got home, I tried to recreate it.
According to Rebecca Katz, author of “The Cancer Fighting Kitchen”, Swiss Chard is “anti-inflammatory and loaded with beta-carotene, fiber and vitamins A and C.”
For my daughter and me, personally, it is a soft green that is easy to digest.
