RAW MASSAGED MARINATED GREENS
This comes out enough like old-fashioned Southern greens to satisfy your longing for Grandmamma’s cooking.
1 bunch collard greens (or kale, or beet or turnip greens)
5 - 10 kalamata olives, pitted and finely chopped
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
½ red bell pepper, slivered (optional)
fresh garlic, finely chopped, to taste, or garlic powder (optional)
chili seasoning, to taste (optional)
Roll up 2 - 3 leaves into a cylindrical “cigar” shape.
With a sharp knife, thinly slice the rolled greens crosswise into ribbons. Cross-chop the “rounds” for smaller, easier to chew pieces
Place in a large bowl. Repeat steps 1- 4 until all greens have been chopped. Add remaining ingredients to bowl and mix. With hands, ‘massage” greens until bulk is reduced by half. Set aside to marinate for one hour (or up to 24 hours) or eat right away.
VARIATION: substitute curry powder for chili seasoning
