Winter Green Slaw with Warm Bacon Dressing
By Jeff Cox
 

The folks at Planet Organics (http://www.planetorganics.com) came up with this low-fat, nutritional powerhouse. Use small and tender Lacinato kale leaves, fresh, tender beet greens, and tender chard leaves to avoid producing a chewing marathon.

SERVINGS

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 cup sliced onion

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup fat-free milk

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon dry dill

1/2 teaspoon honey

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 cups thinly sliced (1/4-inch) kale

2 cups thinly sliced beet greens

2 cups thinly sliced chard leaves

2 strips of turkey bacon, cooked and chopped

PREPARATION

1.    Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender and browned. Reduce heat to low, add the cream cheese, milk, vinegar, mustard, dill, honey, and black pepper. Stir until all is well blended then remove from heat.

2.    Place sliced greens in a bowl, pour on the cream cheese mixture, and toss until the greens are evenly covered. Divide on plates and top with chopped bacon.
