Don't toss your greens! When you are thinning your garden or harvesting those veggies keep the leafy tops. They make a great side to any meal or an awesome base for a vitamin packed breakfast. In this photo I topped beet greens with leftover lobster and feta cheese. It was delicious! An over easy egg would have made it even better.
