Ingredients: 

Makes 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup)

1 pint cherry tomatoes
Cooking spray
8 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cremini mushrooms, sliced (about 2 cups)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 turkey-bacon slices, cut into slivers
10 cups collard greens, rinsed, de ribbed, chiffonade
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Preparation: 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Place tomatoes in a medium glass baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil and a pinch each salt and pepper. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, until tomatoes are hot and skins are wrinkled. Cover with foil; set aside.
3. Place 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add mushrooms, and sprinkle with a pinch each salt and pepper. Sauté just until mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and keep warm.
5. Add 2 teaspoons oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat, along with half of garlic and half of bacon; sauté 30 seconds.
6. Add half of collard greens, and stir-fry just until greens are wilted; transfer to a large metal bowl.
7. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil, garlic, and bacon, and sauté briefly before adding remaining greens. Stir-fry just until greens are wilted; add to bowl.
8. Add tomatoes and mushrooms to the bowl with greens.
9. Pour vinegar into skillet (be careful of fumes); simmer 30 seconds.
10. Drizzle vinegar over salad, and lightly toss along with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
