Ingredients
1 bunch collard greens, stems removed and leaves thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon sumac
1 large ripe plantain, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Directions
- In a large bowl, toss the collard greens with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage the leaves with your hands for 1-2 minutes until they become tender and slightly wilted.
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced plantains in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, sumac, and a pinch of salt.
- To assemble the salad, top the collard greens with the fried plantains, chopped cilantro, crumbled feta cheese, and the sumac dressing. Toss to combine and serve.
