You can tell that I am on a fall and winter veggie kick right now :) Here's another yummy way to get in some greens- you could substitute swiss chard, kale or spinach for the collards.
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 3 cups)
2 T olive oil
1/2 t. sea salt
1/4 t. fresh ground pepper
1 bunch collard greens, chopped (about 4-5 cups)
1/2 c. roasted pumpkin seeds
1/4 dried cherries (I used cranberries)
zest and juice of one lemon
1 T. coarse ground mustard
1 T. pumpkin seed oil or olive oil
Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast on a baking sheet at 375 for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss collards with sweet potatoes directly on the hot baking sheet, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the greens begin to wilt. Transfer the greens and sweet potatoes to a bowl and mix with pumpkin seeds, dried cherries and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, whisk the lemon juice, mustard and pumpkin seed oil together, then toss with the salad. Enjoy at room temperature or refrigerate and serve chilled.
