Steps:
- Wash the collard greens, then cut out the stems. Stack the greens and roll up like a burrito, then cut into ¼-inch strips.
- Chop the bacon, then cook in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until crispy. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat behind, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then cut into ½-inch pieces.
- Add the garlic to the pan with the bacon fat and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the red pepper flakes, mustard, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, then cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Return the bacon to the pan and stir to combine.
- Pour the warm dressing over the collard greens in a large bowl and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving dish and top with the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes. Serve the salmon alongside, if desired.
- Enjoy!
