Recipe from my friend at ReneeYemma.com. Want to add more dark leafy greens to your diet (because you know, they are the number one vegetable that is missing from the Standard American Diet). Well, you’re in luck! Here’s one of my FAVORITE dishes! I make it all time, because, not only is it delicious, it’s also SO easy!
You can make this dish with any dark leafy green of choice, or you can use more than one dark leafy green at the same time. Sometimes I’ll do a mix of collards and kale. You can also do pine nuts instead of walnuts and raisins instead of cranberries. There really are so many ways to make greens taste delicious.
