Adding dark, green leafy vegetables to your diet is a healthy way to make sure you get adequate amounts of calcium, iron, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, magnesium and potassium. It is also an excellent source of fiber.
Some dark greens like kale have a bitter taste, but chard is mild. Chard is my favorite dark green vegetable and by adding the walnuts and flax seeds, gives this dish a hearty, crunchy texture.
You can substitute almonds or macadamia nuts if you prefer.
