While writing Vegan for Her, my co-author Ginny Messina implored me to add more collard greens to my recipes – or to at least remind readers that when making any of my leafy green recipes using kale, swiss chard or spinach you can always substitute collard greens.
Why? They are a great source of calcium and excellent for bone health!
Here are a few easy recipes featuring collard greens:
Black-Eyed Pea & Collard Green Pizza
Gingered Adzuki Beans with Maitake Mushrooms and Collard Greens
Black-Eyed Pea & Collard Green Chili
Cranberry Beans and Greens Chili with Creamy Sriracha
White Bean and Greens Vegetable Soup
Do you have a vegan recipe using collard greens? Please share!

I had a feeling these thick leaves were better for me than I realized! I mostly like to chop them up small and stir them into pasta sauce, potato bowls with hummus, rice or quinoa and soups. Kids think it’s just herbs 🙂
Great ideas, @BarefootJacq:disqus! I love adding greens to pasta sauce! Thanks for the reminder – I just might do that tonight for dinner! 🙂
