Toasted walnuts add a rich nuttiness to earthy greens. If you are following our $68 Dinner Story , use the reserved beet and Swiss chard greens and remaining chard stems from the Roasted Beet Salad with Flash-Pickled Radishes and Chard .

Most excellent recipe! Very easy and tasty. I found this recipe in the "68$ Dinner Story" and served it with The Sausage Asparagus Fritatta. I did substitute kale for swiss chard, and topped it with the roasted walnuts and a few shreds of raw beet. I will definitely make this recipe at least once a week.

My family really liked it, and it's easy enough to make. I did have to make some changes (b/c of my own miscalculations) I ended up making it too salty because I didn't have anymore beet greens so I added two cans of tuna and one big radish to temper the saltiness.
