Corn'd Beef Sandwich with Quick Pickl'd Collard Greens

While collard greens might not be the traditional way to top a corn'd beef sandwich, the fibrous texture of collards makes them the perfect green to pickle. Unlike some other, more delicate greens, collards are easily able to retain their texture and bring a delicious sweet and tangy crunch that pairs perfectly with the salty corn'd beef of this famous sandwich.

Irish or not, we promise that it's so good, you'll definitely want to kiss someone! The best part? You can store these Quick Pickl'd Collard Greens in the fridge for up to a month!
