I have a CSA membership with Circle A in Montrose and always receive an abundance of green leafy vegetables each summer that I get to find creative ways to use!  Here are some recent ways to enjoy greens…..

Breakfast Salad
1.  Fill a dinner plate with a mix of washed salad greens.  
2.  Top with 1/2 an avocado, sliced and any other desired vegetables.  This could include a dollop of naturally fermented saurkraut.
3.  Dress with extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice.
4.  Top with 1-2 pasture raised eggs cooked any style (poached, fried, hard boiled, etc.)
5.  Sprinkle with sea salt and ground black pepper.  
6.  Enjoy!

Sauteed Swiss Chard with Parmesan Cheese
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 small red onion, diced
1-2 bunches swiss chard, stems removed and chopped and leaves coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste

1.  Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.  Add the chard stems and the white wine.  Simmer until the stems begin to soften, about 5 minutes.  Stir in the chard leaves, and cook until wilted.  Finally, stir in lemon juice and Parmesan cheese; season to taste with salt if needed.
