Colorful Sauteed Vegetables

WI Cheesehead's Note:

This has a very pretty presentation and is a good way to get in a bunch of veggies! You're welcome to use whatever greens you would like, including cabbage. This can be vegan if using only olive oil and leaving out the Parmesan cheese.

Colorful indeed! This is a GREAT HEALTHY recipe! I used a mixed bag of greens including kale, chard and mustard greens. I enjoyed this with balsamic vinegar drizzled over it. Wonderful alongside fish. Freddy Cat says thanks for the recipe! Made for the Zaar tag game.
