Directions:
- Remove any thick stems from your greens (like those found in collards, for example).
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Salt it. (You can also steam greens over an inch or so of boiling water.) Cook greens until tender. It's about 3 minutes for spinach and something like 15 minutes for collards. (According to the book - those things are so tough, I'd have to see that to believe it. If you aren't an experienced collards cooker, I'd stick with the easier spinach.)
- Drain well. Wrap in plastic or place in a covered bowl and chill. They can stay in the fridge up to 2 days. If you want to use them right away, plung them into ice water or put them under running cold water.
- When ready to serve, squeeze excess moisture from greens, then chop coarsely. Toss with olive, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
