    Great recipe! I really like greens of all kinds (try homemade kale chips!) I’m always looking for new ways to use greens. I substituted shaved almonds as I’m alergic to walnuts. I also added some chile flakes (I add Chile Flakes to everything, even my breakfast cereal, smoothies and frozen yogurt.
