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.
