Raw Collard Green Salad


I was craving a creamy kale salad... yet I forgot that in my refrigerator was collard greens -- not kale. So I made looked up collard salad and found this recipe at Eating Bird Food.  I modified it, and it is yummy!  Here is the recipe.

Ingredients
  • 1 bunch of collard greens
  • 1 carrot 
  • 1/8 c. olive oil
  • 1/8 c. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3 cloves of garlic

Directions

  1. Cut the collard greens into small pieces. 
  2. Shred the carrot.
  3. Wisk/Mix together oil, vinegar, salt, and garlic.
  4. Combine and let sit for at least 3 hours.
  5. Eat. ;)  ( or if your like me I was eating it before I even let it set)


The salad dressing is tangy and the carrots added a nice sweetness to balance the dressing.

It's a keeper of a recipe.

In 1 cup of collard greens there is...

  • 36% of your daily value of Vitamin A
  • 21% of your daily value of Vitamin C
  • 8% of your daily value of Calcium
  • 5% of your daily value of Vitamin B-6
