Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small head collard greens chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 (15-oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup kalamata olives chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese to taste
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and add the chopped onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the minced garlic and chopped collard greens. Continue sautéing until the greens have softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the pinto beans, sun-dried tomatoes, and kalamata olives (the remaining ingredients) and continue heating just until these items are warmed through. Stir in the feta cheese and lemon zest.
  • Transfer everything to a large bowl and serve pinto bean salad alongside your main entree, and enjoy!
