Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oil (canola or olive work)
  • 2 large onions (peeled & thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds fresh chopped greens (can be spinach, dandelion greens, Swiss chard, etc.)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • pita bread to serve

Instructions

Preparing caramelized onions:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced onions, salt and pepper and stir well.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook onions, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Be patient – this may take up to 30 minutes.
Preparing greens:
  1. Place a steamer basket inside a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring 3 inches of water to boil over high heat.
  2. Add greens to the pot and steam until bright green and wilted, about 3-4 minutes, careful not to over-cook. If the greens turn brown that means they're overcooked.
  3. Remove greens from pan and let cool in a large bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper; set aside.
  5. Before adding the lemon vinaigrette to the greens, use a kitchen towel or paper towel to remove any excess liquid that may have formed.
  6. Drizzle lemon vinaigrette over the greens and toss well to combine. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Spread greens out in a thin layer on a large platter.
  7. Top greens with caramelized onions and serve with pita bread warm, room temperature or chilled.
