Nutritional values

Swiss chard is one of the few vegetables that can rival even many dairy products in terms of calcium content. This mineral is good for strong teeth and bones. Walnuts contain large amounts of various B vitamins. They help to stay relaxed and keep a clear head even under stress.

If you don't like dill, simply replace it with other herbs of your choice, such as parsley, chives, thyme or basil.
