Bacon Braised Collard Greens

Bacon Braised Collard Greens

I like to serve this with baked beans and creamy grits. If you are on a keto diet or AIP elimination diet, then try serving this with zucchini noodles or cooked spaghetti squash and grilled chicken. 

Ingredients
8 slices organic bacon cut into ½-inch pieces (or turkey bacon)
1 large onions julienned
2 bunches collard greens stems removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
½ cups apple cider
½ cups chicken bone broth
½ teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar

Yum! I crave greens and collards keep longer than others in the fridge. I love that I can search recipes for collards and find both unique and traditional recipe options.
