Add the chopped Swiss chard stems to the skillet and sauté for another 2-3 minutes to soften them up.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until soft and tender, avoiding overcooking to prevent bitterness.

Add 1 tablespoon or more of Dijon mustard to the mixture.

10

Add a handful of craisins or dried cranberries.

11

Pour in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sugar.

12

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of vinegar and season with black pepper.

13

Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

14

Add the Swiss chard leaves to the skillet and gently toss to wilt them in the hot dressing.
