Clean Eating Apples And Greens Recipe
I admit it. I struggle with ways to make green interesting. They have very particular flavors, and to my mind, it’s hard to diversify when their flavors are so specific.
But I think I did pretty well with this one. Something about this recipe was just screaming for bacon, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do that. So if you have some clean bacon at home, consider adding it to this as a topping. Otherwise, this is a pretty tasty dish all on it’s own.
It would pair well with some chicken or fish. And if you include grains in your clean eating plan, I would try some quinoa or brown rice. But really, just this and some meat would make a fabulous meal.

Saute the garlic in the oil until just slightly golden.
