How can I balance the strong taste of Collard Greens in a salad?

Question

I want some way to make the strong taste of collard greens but want it to stay kinda light. Any suggestions? Dressing or other ingredients?

Answer 1

I've only had them cooked, but use spinach nearly every night in salads.  I think Balsamic Vignarette cuts through the strong flavor of the greens, but a good Raspberry Walnut or Pecan Vignarette might too..... If you use the balsamic, add a can of drained mandarin oranges and sliced red onion.  If you choose the Raspberry dressing, you could add fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries.  Anyways, that's something I do with Spinach:)  

Answer 2

Use about 75% other salad greens.  I've never heard of using collards in green salads,simply for the reason you mentioned: very strongly flavored.

Answer 3

Cannelli beans that have been thoroughly rinsed with maybe some bacon.

Answer 4

Asian sesame dressing

Answer 5

vinegar

Answer 6
