Okay, I’ll admit it. I am not the most avid nor enthusiastic vegetable eater. In an effort to get me eating more veggies, I signed up for a produce delivery service, Door to Door Organics. We got our first box today. I couldn’t be happier, although I was rather intimidated by the collard greens. I’ve never had collard greens before. Never. Never, ever. So, I sent out a call for help via twitter and someone recommended I try Epicurious, where I found this. I decided I’d make that and toss it with some quinoa (also something I am new at) and people, let me tell you, there is only one word for how unbelievably awesome it was.
NOM.
Or maybe OMNOMNOM. I snarfed up 3 servings!
WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME COLLARD GREENS ARE SO TASTY?!?!
It’s the NAME! COLLARD!
Well, being from the deep south, I could have told you that! LOL My grandmother served greens with dinner almost every night. That recipe sounds delicious! I might have to try that.
I have told you collard greens are tasty.
I totally LOVE quinoa. It’s so yummy. I had some at the Factory picnic last summer–fresh, cold quinoa salad done with a red wine vinagrette–and I bought a big bag of it. I’ve since tried several cold-served salads, including vinegar-based and oil-based. Plus, it’s great if you add a dash to sandwiches or as garnish.
