I like to use fresh beets (cubed and boiled until tender) and when I do, I use the beet greens instead of Swiss chard. Great either way.

This is a new, interesting way to have Swiss Chard. Lots of texture, freshness with the lemon and good for you! I cut the recipe in half and used lower-fat feta and fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
