Spiced Collards Salad

Spiced Collards Salad

Ingredients:
3 cups young collard greens
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon fresh basil
½ tablespoon fresh oregano
2 cups tomatoes, diced
¼ cup green onions, diced
1 cup red bell pepper, diced

Directions:
1. Remove the stems from the collard greens. Roll up the greens and chop
them into small pieces.
2. Sprinkle the salt onto the collards. Massage the collards by hand to
work the salt into the greens so they begin to wilt.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons lemon juice on greens and mix. Let them sit for 1–2
minutes to wilt.
4. Blend the pine nuts, olive oil, garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon lemon
juice until smooth. Put the basil and oregano in the blender and briefly
pulse until the herbs are mixed in and still chunky.
5. Add tomato, onion, and red bell pepper to the collard greens. Toss the
salad with the blended dressing and serve.
