Spring Greens Sauté with Bacon and Walnuts

This vibrant spring greens sauté with bacon and walnuts is a wonderful way to enjoy bitter seasonal leaves. By lightly cooking dandelion greens or Swiss chard in a little olive oil, you retain their nutritional value and crisp texture while balancing their natural earthiness with smoky bacon and buttery walnuts. It is a sophisticated yet simple side dish that brings a burst of colour and a satisfying crunch to any midweek meal.

As a heart-healthy option, this recipe focuses on nutrient-dense leafy greens and healthy fats from the nuts and olive oil. It is incredibly versatile and works just as well with mustard greens or kale depending on what is available at your local market. Serve it alongside roasted chicken or as a light lunch topped with a poached egg for a boost of protein and flavour.
