This low-salt twist on classic collard greens is sure to please. It has a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors. If you like greens you will love this recipe. The bacon and onions give them a wonderful flavor. Add more red pepper for a little more spice. While raw, these aren’t as tasty or tender as real spinach. Cooked, however, they actually hold up a little better and are very flavorful.
