Swiss Chard and Garlic with Balsamic Vinegar
(from salonx’s recipe box)
POINTS® value | 1 per serving
Serving size: 1 cup.
A little sweet balsamic tames the chard—and creates a healthful side dish for fish, chicken or beef. If all the greens don’t fit in the pan in one bunch, add them in batches, wilting one heaping handful in the pan before adding the next.
