This is a simple way to get your veggies in during the week. I recommend you rotate what's in season in terms of the greens you use, switch up your hearty veggies and herbs too. Here is the basic template and combo that I love! i prep this all on Sunday and have it the entire week as a side dish. All I have to do is pan fry an egg to place on top and serve.
Serves: 4-8
