Oh, the wonders of collard greens! These nutrient-dense leaves are power-packed with all the goods!! Eat them raw as a wrap (instead of a flour tortilla!) I made mine today with roasted turkey, swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, banana peppers, a sprinkling of cilantro, and a few spinach leaves for good measure! :) But...Anyone that knows me, knows that I am not a rule (or recipe!) follower! Just use what you have on hand, and make it interesting! There’s no “wrong way”! Just think “nutrient density!” And all is well! :) Here are just a few of the benefits of adding collard greens into your lifestyle!:
And there you have it, my vote is in for collards! Lemon Lime Tahini Salad Dressing Makes about 1 cup This dressing is great mixed with a bed of spring greens. Cut up some avocado (for some good fat) and throw in some sliced orange peppers (for some pretty color, as well as nutrients!) and you’ve got a very tasty, nutty flavored, vitamin-dense salad! Ingredients: 1/2 cup tahini 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 2 cloves of garlic Juice of 1 l lemon Juice of 1 lime Sea salt and freshly ground pepper Add water to get just the right consistency optional: add 1 Tbs of Miso (for flavor) Directions: In a NutriBullet, blend together the tahini, honey, sesame oil, and Tabasco to combine. Then add the rice vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, sea salt, and pepper to taste. Thin with water or more lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning. The dressing will keep, covered in the fridge for 2 weeks. NOTE: I have also added grilled salmon to top off this salad, and it was divine!
