Wash the chard, dandelion greens, and spinach several times in plenty of water.
Thinly slice the thick chard stems and leave the leaves in large pieces.
Bring water to a boil in a large pot and add half the salt.
Boil the chard stems for 3 minutes, then add the chard leaves, dandelion greens, and spinach.
Cook the greens for 6-7 minutes until tender, then drain them.
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper, then drizzle over the horta vrasta.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find Aegean wild greens, use a mix of chard, dandelion greens, and spinach; with only spinach, horta tastes too mild.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve horta vrasta warm or cold, with optional fish, dried bean stew, or a yogurt meze on the side.
