Want to take a break from kale? Give chard a chance. It’s a nutritious green and makes a great warm salad. I made this super easy warm chard-red quinoa salad in less than 15 minutes for a quick lunch. Its loaded with garlic and I topped it with tomatoes to add some freshness. You can add other veggies for more color and taste, add an egg, grilled tofu…this has endless possibilities!

[A super late post from NYE]
I frantically called my mom the afternoon of NYE asking for ideas to make an easy dip for a NYE party. I didn’t have much time to plan ahead because work kept me busy but mom came to the rescue! She saw this recipe on Show Me The Curry and she has made this a bunch of times. She adds her own twist to eat each time she makes it and its always super delicious. I guess I get my “I can’t follow a recipe” from her and how ironic that I have a recipe blog!
Anyway, this dip turned out delicious and only took me 20 minutes to put together. This is definitely a crowd pleaser…perfect for any party.

I made it again as an appetizer when we invited some friends over for dinner and it was definitely a crowd pleaser.
