We all know we should be eating more greens, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out how to keep our roughage intake interesting. Sure, there’s an abundance of kale recipes out there, but it’s time to spiral deeper into your greens-obsession and put your collard greens and Swiss chard recipes on the same pedestal. In soups, stews, casseroles, and salads, it’s hard to get bored when you switch up your greens. These 13 recipes will show you how to love roughage in a whole new way.
