Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 quarts mixed greens, thick stems removed (such as broccoli rabe, mustard greens, and spinach)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
Red wine vinegar, for seasoning

Steps:

  • Shake the rinsed greens in a colander to remove the excess liquid, but the leaves don't have to be thoroughly dry.
  • Heat a large pot over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until it is light brown. Add a couple of handfuls of greens and toss with tongs, incorporating the garlic so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the remaining greens all at once, or in batches if your pot isn't large enough to hold it all at once. Toss constantly so the greens wilt evenly. When wilted, season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over high heat, tossing often, until the excess liquid evaporates.
  • Turn greens out into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then season with vinegar. Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 days and eat cold.
  • Michael's Notes: The wine vinegar will cause the greens to lose their beautiful green color. You can omit it, but I think it improves their taste.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor to thinly slice the Brussels sprouts and kale.
  • Be sure to massage the kale with the salt to help break down the tough fibers and make it more tender.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
  • You can add other fall vegetables to this salad, such as roasted butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or pears.
  • For a vegan version of this salad, omit the bacon or use a plant-based bacon substitute.
  • Serve this salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
