Cold Lemony Greens
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 pound or more greens, any type, like spinach or collards, trimmed of thick stems (or at least 2 cups cooked greens)
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Fresh lemon juice to taste
- Lemon wedges
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it (or you can steam the greens over an inch or so of boiling water).
- Cook the greens until tender, from about 3 minutes for spinach to up to 15 for the stems of tougher greens like collards.
- Drain well, then wrap in plastic or place in a covered bowl and refrigerate (you can leave them in the fridge for up to 2 days).
- Or cool by plunging them into ice water or running under cold water.
- Squeeze excess moisture from the greens, then chop them coarsely.
- Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then taste and add more of anything necessary.
- Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
