If your plate is looking a little bland then it's time to jazz it up with some colorful veggies. Based on expert reports, AICR recommends filling 2/3 or more of your plate with fruits, veggies, whole grains and beans and 1/3 or less with animal protein.

Collard greens are a southern delicacy packed with vitamins C, A and K, as well as manganese, folate and a wide range of carotenoids. Topped with bell peppers, mushrooms and tangy cider vinegar this dish is great paired with a simple soup or light supper.
