How to make Collard Greens Salad with Ginger and Spicy Seed Brittle

Whisk vinegar, ginger, 1/2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper, and 1 teaspoon honey in a large bowl. Whisk in oils; season with salt.

Combine remaining 2 teaspoons honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoons Aleppo pepper, and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Toast sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, tossing, until sesame seeds are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add honey mixture and cook, stirring, until seeds stick together in small clumps, about 3 minutes. Scrape seed mixture onto parchment paper; let cool. Break into small clusters.

Toss greens and 2 teaspoons dressing in a large bowl; season with salt. Squeeze and rub collards with your hands to tenderize until glossy and darkened in colour, about 30 seconds. Drizzle salad with more dressing and serve topped with seeds.
