Ingredients
- 1 bunch collard greens, ribs removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup diced bacon

Directions
Step 1
Gather collard leaves and roll into a log-shaped bundle; slice bundle crosswise into thin strips.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add collard greens; simmer until bright green, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in drained collard greens, onion, sea salt, and garlic; cook until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
