I love me some crunchy, fulfilling greens. This is definitely one of those meals or you can make it as a side. The raisins and the seeds make it hard to just eat a little bit; it's so good.

Rainbow chard is sooooo beautiful. It’s so naturally vibrant.

I’ve made this a few times with different variations, but this is definitely my top favorite version. If you’re really into greens and earthy vegetables, this is the perfect meal for you.
