Steps:
- Pull the leaf portions of the collard, mustard, and turnip greens away from the tough stems, and discard the stems. Gently wash the greens in warm water to remove all soil and sand. Partially fill a clean sink with warm water, and stir in 3 tablespoons of salt and 2 cups of chicken broth; allow greens to soak in the mixture for 10 minutes. Scoop up the greens and allow to drain in a colander; discard used chicken broth. Do not rinse the greens.
- Pour the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth into a large pot, and mix in the greens. Stir in vegetable oil, garlic, bacon bits, and sugar, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the greens are tender, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH ORANGE DRESSING RECIPE BY TASTY
This yummy mixed green salad with orange dressing is a perfect side dish to make for a dinner party or brunch that won't break the bank. To save money, use a snack pack of honey-roasted nuts you find in the check-out aisle to add a nice crunch. The oranges work double duty--the segments go in the salad and the juice is used in the dressing.

Steps:
- Segment the oranges: Cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges so they sit flat on a cutting board. Use a knife to remove the rind of the orange, cutting carefully to remove as little flesh as possible. Use a paring knife to cut between the membranes to remove the orange segments. Transfer to a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from the scraps into a separate bowl.
- Make the dressing: Strain the orange juice into a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup to remove any pulp and seeds. You should have about ¼ cup. Add the lemon juice and sugar. Microwave for 60 seconds, until the sugar dissolves.
- Let cool, then whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the salad: Add the mixed greens to a large bowl. Add the avocado, segmented oranges, red onion, and honey-roasted nuts.
- Just before serving, pour some of the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Add more dressing to taste.
- Enjoy!

CRUNCHY GREENS WITH CARROT-GINGER DRESSING
This recipe draws inspiration from the sunny-orange flavor of green salads with carrot-ginger dressing at Japanese American restaurants. The pulpy, aromatic dressing may be the star, but a salad is only as good as its lettuce. After washing and thoroughly spin-drying the greens in a salad spinner (alternatively, you can pat them dry in a clean kitchen towel), one way to maximize their crunch before adding the dressing is to refrigerate them, covered, for at least 30 minutes. Little Gem has a sweet, juicy sturdiness, but regular packaged mixed greens, baby spinach and chopped romaine hearts work, too.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: In a food processor, purée the carrot, ginger, olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, onion powder, a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water until as smooth as possible, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Dress the salad: Place the lettuce leaves in a large serving bowl. Add a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and toss, then add more as needed to evenly coat. The salad should be lightly dressed, not drowned; don't use every drop of dressing if you don't need to. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt as desired. Top the salad with the mint leaves and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Three days before, combine the vinegars with the herb mixture in a jar. Seal and let infuse in the refrigerator for three days.
- Strain the herbs from the vinegar and pour the vinegar into a saucepan. Place over high heat and reduce by half. Fill another saucepan with 1/4 inch of peanut oil. Heat the oil to 170 degrees, then add the shallots. Remove from the heat and cool. Strain. Place the vinegar in a bowl, then gradually whisk in the shallot oil and then the olive oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the lettuces and the chervil and tarragon. Sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss gently and thoroughly, until all of the leaves are thinly coated. Add a little more dressing if necessary, but the delicate leaves should not be weighed down with it. Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve.
