Penne with Salmon & Greens - VIDEO
I'm a huge fan of dark greens...afterall, they are considered a power food, so what's not to love?
If you aren't familiar with the variety of dark, leafy, greens that are out there, this QuickBite is a great way to introduce them into your kitchen. This recipe calls for Dandelion greens, but you could easily substitute kale, swisschard, or even spinach.
