Hardy Greens With Lemon-Garlic Vinaigrette

This vibrant hardy greens with lemon-garlic vinaigrette is a wonderful way to enjoy seasonal, nutrient-dense leaves. By combining robust textures like collard greens, kale or beet tops with a zesty, citrus-forward dressing, the leaves soften slightly while retaining a satisfying crunch. The addition of honey balances the natural bitterness of the greens, creating a sophisticated flavour profile that feels both fresh and nourishing.

As a versatile vegan side dish, this salad pairs beautifully with roasted root vegetables or protein-rich grains. The dried cranberries provide little bursts of sweetness and a festive touch of colour, making it a great choice for a healthy midweek lunch or a dinner party accompaniment. It is a brilliant recipe for those looking to incorporate more leafy greens into their diet in an easy, delicious way.
