Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs fresh greens (such as swiss chard , dandelion
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
6 tbsp olive oil
salt , to taste
fresh ground black pepper , to taste

Directions:

Cut away any tough stems from the greens and discard.
Wash the greens thoroughly and cut any very large leaves in half.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Add the greens and cook, uncovered, for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the greens are just tender.
Drain leaves in a colander and cool, pressing down with the back of a spoon to extract all the water.
Place greens in a baking dish, using a fork to loosen and separate the leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Pour over the greens.
