- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

- 1/4 teasopon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- Optional: grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, anchovies, garlic, paprika and salt. Let this mixture sit while you clean and trim the greens. Cut or tear greens into thin strips. Dry greens in a salad spinner or shake off water and pat with a towel.

Wilted Greens with Warm Bacon Dressing
Ingredients:- 1 large or two smaller bunches of greens
- 1/2 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup sherry or red wine vinegar
- Sea salt or black pepper to taste
Cut greens into thin strips. Stems can be removed or chopped up as well.
In a large skillet, cook bacon pieces over medium heat.
Just as the bacon starts to get crispy, raise heat to medium high and add the shallot. Sauté about 30 seconds then add the vinegar. Simmer vigorously for one minute so the vinegar bubbles and reduces just a bit.
Add the greens. Mix the greens as they wilt so that everything gets coated in the dressing. The greens can be cooked just a few minutes or much longer, depending on your preference of tenderness. If you end up cooking the greens more than five minutes, turn the heat down a little.
Add sea salt and/or black pepper to taste. Serve warm.
