A vibrant pop of green might be just what your kitchen refresh needs. You’re already doing that by cooking your beet greens, making delicious dishes with collard greens and sneaking greens into your smoothies. And of course there’s always spring recipes to boot. But that doesn’t mean that what’s on your plate can’t also match your pretty new green plate, right?
