Collard greens are not my favorite, but the beans made up for it.

These collard greens and beans were not good. The recipe was easy to follow, but the dish was not tasty. The greens were tough and the beans were mushy. I would not recommend this dish.

I made these collard greens and beans last night and they were okay. The recipe was easy to follow and the dish was ready in no time. The greens were a little tough and the beans were a little bland. I would probably not make this dish again.
