Have A Brighter Thanksgiving with Bright Lights
Want to add more color to your dinners? Look no further than Salad Savoy! As he toured Europe in the ‘80s, founder and owner John Moore discovered colorful vegetables being used in local dishes. When he came back to the States, he developed Salad Savoy, his company’s namesake violet-and-white veggie through traditional, natural breeding and cross-pollination methods.
With the success of that vibrant vegetable, Salad Savoy has expanded its lineup to include other colorful produce like Lollipops and the Bright Lights you’ll use in this Sautéed Swiss Chard with Garlic and Mushrooms.
Bright Lights are a versatile veggie that work in many different kinds of dishes. With their unique purple stem, your family will love trying them on Thanksgiving! There’s more to Bright Lights than just a fun color, though: At 10 to 12 leaves, each overstuffed bunch contains more leaves than typical swiss chard. Pick up a bountiful bundle of Bright Lights leaves for your next recipe!
Here’s a tip from the pros: Bright Lights make a festive and flavorful garnish for a Bloody Mary. Relax and treat yourself to one as you put together your Thanksgiving feast.
