For a deeper flavor, try using balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice. If you don't have red Swiss chard, rainbow or regular Swiss chard will work well. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to this dish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your liking. Consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or crumbled feta cheese just before serving for added texture and flavor.

Earthy red chard meets the sweet depths of caramelized onions in this vibrant and flavorful side dish. A delightful counterpoint to richer mains, it's equally enjoyable served warm or at room temperature, offering a burst of Mediterranean-inspired goodness.
