Chard is a leafy veggie often used in Mediterranean cooking. I dress it with orange juice and bacon, and the family gobbles it up. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

Ingredients

1/2 pound thick-sliced peppered bacon strips
2 pounds rainbow Swiss chard, chopped
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons butter
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of drippings. Cut bacon into small pieces.
Add chard to drippings; cook and stir just until wilted, 5-6 minutes. Add remaining ingredients; cook 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with bacon.
