I like to make this Swiss chard a main dish by serving it with pasta, but it’s also a tasty side dish all on its own. My boys love it and ask for it often. —Rebekah Chappel, Portales, New Mexico

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
2 bunches Swiss chard, coarsely chopped (about 16 cups)
1/2 cup walnut halves, toasted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
Add vinegar, stirring to loosen any browned bits from pot. Add remaining ingredients; cook 4-6 minutes or until chard is tender, stirring occasionally.

Editor's Note

To toast nuts, bake in a shallow pan in a 350° oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Confused by photo, which doesn't agree with ingredients listed. Photo appears to show mini red and yellow peppers in the dish. Wondering what other ingredients might be in that dish that aren't as obvious?

Wow, so good! I had Cabernet balsamic vinegar on hand so I used that. Cut in half for hubby and me. Quick, easy and yummy!

Really tasty and beautiful. We omitted the walnuts due to an allergy, but it was so good even without them. The whole family enjoyed it, and I found it quick and easy to make on a busy weeknight. Will definitely make again.
