Collard Greens Salad with Crispy Garbanzo Beans and Peanut Dressing

Serves 4

Method

Thanks to CSA member Peggy for sharing this recipe! Her note: “I have a feeling that many people may not know what to do with their collard greens. I wanted to share this recipe, which I have been making whenever I receive them. Enjoy! ”

  1. 1

    Prepare the collard greens by removing the stems and then cutting the leaves into thin strips, like a chiffonade. Massage the greens with your hands in a large bowl with a sprinkle of olive oil and a dash of salt. Add grated carrot to bowl.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 425F. Drain and dry the garbanzo beans, and then toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil and a dash of salt. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Once they have cooled, add them to the greens.

  3. 3

    In a mini-food processor or blender, combine the dressing ingredients. The mixture will be thick, so thin it with water one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached. Pour desired amount over the salad and toss until coated. Top with chopped peanuts. Extra dressing is good on meat or other vegetables.
