Every now and again I find a recipe that I like to adapt to use. Knowing that it will be a new one is exciting. If you would have asked me a few days ago about using collard greens in a salad format I would have laughed but it turned to be pretty good and fulfilling. It also pairs nicely with steamed fish or baked chicken if you don't want to eat it as a vegetarian meal.
If you have some collard greens, apple cider and apples at home, that is all you really need. What will you get with this is a good way to include iron and fiber in your diet.
Ingredients
- 4 collard green leaves
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- chopped almonds
- 1 red or gala apple sliced
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- 1/2 cup of water
Directions
- Wash collard green leaves and cut them length wise. Set aside on a plate or bowl.
- In a pot, mix water, sugar, sea salt and apple cider. Boil for 5-7 minutes. Let cool off and pour in a bowl over the sliced apples. Let it marinate for 30-45 minutes.
- Arrange collard green leaves with sliced apples. Toss almonds on it.
- Dressing is not needed but I used a 'cherry vinegrette' that went well with it.
