Hey i dont really see why people are being so negative about this recipe, i think its great! I used half the balsamic vinegar, as others reccomended, and i poured the excess liquid before serving, and it turned out lovely. If your worried about the vinegar becoming too overpowering, remember to not use strong balsamic vinegar. I highly reccomend adding a pinch of sugar, to combat the vinegars acidity. Thanks for sharing

I thought this recipe was simple, yet good. I changed it a bit. I diced the ribs of rainbow chard and sauted them with diced onion...this gave the dish a bit of crunch. I also had a jar of roasted red peppers and slivered them in when the chard was added. The combo was excellent. I loved the amount of vinegar (our family loves vinegar). I did add a pinch of sugar to offset the acidity. Topped smashed fingerling potatoes with this colorful and yummy wilted chard. And served with a sliced heirloom tomato! YUM! My husband and my 17 month old son LOVED it.

A neighbor gave us some Swiss Chard. We had never had it before so I looked up recipes. We made this one and loved it! It has a wonderful taste!

I liked this, nice and easy. Didn't have any red balsamic on hand, so I used white, which may have been too sweet... still, I liked it

Holy cow! That was good! My kids ate this!!! I didn't make enough thinking they wouldn't even look at it, let alone taste it. I will have to make it again soon so I can have some! Thanks for a great recipe I will use again and again.

I love Swiss chard and I made a point of cutting way down on the Balsmic vinegar due to other reviews. I am giving it 2 stars due to the good idea of olive oil and garlic, but the Balsamic vinegar ruined it for me! I only used TWO TEASPOONS and that was too much! I will stick with S&P and a little butter on the chard when serving. Why ruin garden fresh greens with vinegar?

Waaaaayyyy too much vinegar. Cut the vinegar in half, at least, and this recipe has potential.

My first time fixing swiss chard (I used rainbow chard). Was a bit blah (other than too vinegary) so I added some pine nuts. Next time I'll cut the vinegar and I'm sure it'll be better.

Thanks. I loved this. I followed other recommendations and added a T of sugar and used white balsamic (full amount). A little sweet for my tastes, so I'll probably use regular balsamic next time but keep the T of sugar for a little sweet and sour taste. Definitely a keeper though.
