I'll admit, I only made this recipe because I bought some beets with the leaves attached and didn't really know what to do with them. I'm glad I tried this, though! It is really, really tasty, and it's very easy to put together. I'm sure it would be great with other types of greens (or even green beans :) ). Thanks for posting.
