With an abundance of rainbow swiss chard, matchbox chili peppers, and cherry tomatoes flourishing in my garden, I wanted a satisfying meal that would use some of these delicious, fresh vegetables! And it was so easy!
Swiss chard is a dark leafy green, full of nutrients such as Vitamin A, E, and K.
Tomatoes are a source of Vitamin C, and of a carotenoid called lycopene, both antioxidants.
Quinoa, a healthy grain source of protein and minerals.
