MILDLY SPICY SWISS CHARD

Servings: 4

Calories: 80

Protein: 1 grams
Carbohydrates: 5 grams
Fiber: 1 grams
Net Carbs: 4 grams
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red or green salsa
2 tablespoons cream
5 cups Swiss chard, stems cut off and leaves sliced
crosswise into 1" strips
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
Add onion; cook 5 minutes, until onion is softened. Stir
in salsa; cook 3 minutes more. Mix in cream.
2. Add chard and stir to coat. Cover and cook 5 minutes,
just until chard is wilted. Season to taste with salt and
pepper.
Swiss chard is worth the little bit of time it takes to prepare: Its
flavor is nuttier and cleaner than spinach and a half-cup serving
provides 2 milligrams of iron (13 percent of RDA for women, 30
percent for men).
