Chiffonade -- the technique we use to create these long ribbons of greens -- makes a gorgeous dish that's easy to eat with a simple swirl of your fork.

I only used 2 oranges for this recipe. Instead of juicing one whole orange, just throw a few wedges in the food processor with the rest of the dressing ingredients. This was my first time eating collard greens. I think they are kind of hard to chew. When I make this recipe again I will use kale or spinach instead. Otherwise, this was a very tasty salad.
