Baby Collard Greens

Several days ago I mentioned a really good way to get tender, delicious baby collard leaves. Well, tonight we had them on our sandwiches. They were wonderful!

Their slightly peppery taste added a spicy sensation that other mixes of lettuce or sprouts get only with something like radish leaves or sprouts. Baby collard leaves are better because they have a slightly bitter addition, and they are more nutritious.

They are delightfully tender and are not at all "stemmy." They don't need any work other than rinsing before you add them to your sandwiches or salads. Don't pass up the opportunity to enjoy this delicious and healthy addition to your meals.
