Make the creamy cashew sauce
sauceSoak the cashews in water for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight (or if you’re in a rush, you can boil for 10 minutes). Add all the sauce ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, until silky smooth, adding water if needed. Transfer to a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish to warm before serving.
Note: If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you can use a store-bought cashew queso or similar creamy sauce.

Sauté the chard
chardClean the chard (or whichever green you’re using) and strip the leafy portions from the stems. Keeping the leaves and stems separate, chop both into ½- to 1-inch pieces. Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic, lemon zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes and sizzle for 1 minute. If using the chard stems, add them first to pan along with a pinch of salt and cook for about 4 minutes. Add the leaves and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the lemon juice and toss to coat. Taste for salt. Set aside.
