Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
• 1 cup thinly sliced carrot
• 2 cups chopped collard greens, stems removed
• 1 medium onion sliced thick

• 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
• salt and cracked black pepper to taste
• *optional 1 tsp soy sauce
Directions:
1. Chop onion and press garlic and let sit for 5-10 minutes to enhance their health-promoting benefits.
2. Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a steamer with a tight fitting lid. Add carrots and onions cover, and steam for 3 minutes. Add collard greens, and steam for another 3 minutes. Then add zucchini and steam for another 3 minutes.
