- While the onions and chard cook, stack the chard leaves and slice into ¾” ribbons. Add them to the pan with red onion and chard stems. Sprinkle on the Greek Girls Seasoning. Turn the chard a few times to combine. Sauté 3-4 minutes.
- While the chard cooks, dice the apricot (dried or fruit leather). Add the diced apricot to the chard and drizzle the balsamic vinegar. Sauté an additional 4-5 minutes until the chard is tender.
- Sprinkle with toasted almonds just before serving.
