Time 22m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 1/2 lbs mixed greens, trimmed and roughly chopped (discard yellowed leaves)
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini or 1 (15 ounce) can other white beans, drained and rinsed
kosher sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add greens (in batches) and cook, tossing often, until wilted and bright green, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer greens to colander as done and drain.
  • Return skillet to heat.
  • Add broth to skillet and deglaze, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Add beans and simmer until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Return greens to skillet, toss gently and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose a variety of greens. Arugula, spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce are all great options. You can also add some herbs, such as basil or mint, for extra flavor.
  • Use fresh, seasonal fruit. Berries, apples, pears, and citrus fruits are all great choices. You can also use dried fruit, but be sure to soak it in water for 30 minutes before adding it to the salad.
  • Make a simple vinaigrette dressing. A vinaigrette dressing is easy to make and it's a great way to add flavor to your salad. Simply whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Add some nuts or seeds. Nuts and seeds add a nice crunch and extra flavor to your salad. Walnuts, almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds are all great options.
  • Serve immediately. Mixed greens salads are best served immediately after they are made. The greens will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Mixed greens salads are a delicious and healthy way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a mixed greens salad that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, try one of these recipes.
