Collard Greens

Recommended: Sautéed, Braised, Soup, Omelettes

This amazing green is often times under-appreciated. Most people have tried them as a side at a BBQ restaurant, but they have so much more versatility than that.

They can easily be added into soups or omelettes with almost no added work, and add a depth of flavor that is unparalleled.

Kale

Recommended: Salads, Soups, Roasted

Kale Caesar salad is so good that I almost prefer it to romaine. Simply strip the leaves from the stalks or chop them small enough for easy eating. Then, massage a little salt and olive oil into the leaves, add traditional Caesar dressing and serve.

Cherry Tomatoes

Recommended: Salads, Roasted, Sauces, Fresh, Pizza

These are so good, it’s hard to decide which way to recommend them. I love to roast them and add to toast for my breakfast, or cut in half and top on a pizza or salad.

Did you know you can enjoy tomatoes even before they’re ripe. These are considered a delicacy in many places. I recommend trying them fried. They are so good!
