Can I use other types of cheese instead of feta?

Absolutely! While feta cheese adds a distinctive tangy flavor, you can experiment with other cheeses such as goat cheese, Parmesan, or even shredded mozzarella to suit your taste preferences.

Is Swiss chard Keto-friendly?

Yes, Swiss chard is a low-carb leafy green vegetable that is suitable for Ketogenic diets. It's rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants while being low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for keto-friendly recipes.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Certainly! You can wash and chop the Swiss chard in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, simply sauté the garlic, add the Swiss chard, and finish with the feta cheese for a quick and convenient side dish.

How can I add extra flavor to this dish?

To enhance the flavor of the sauteed Swiss chard, you can add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar during cooking. Additionally, you can sprinkle red pepper flakes for a hint of spice or toss in some toasted pine nuts for added crunch and nuttiness.

Can I make this dish dairy-free?

Absolutely! If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can omit the feta cheese or substitute it with dairy-free alternatives such as vegan feta or nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor without dairy.
