Mustard Greens with Turkey Bacon

1/2 pound mustard greens, stems and center ribs cut out and discarded and the leaves cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 slices of turkey bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled

Wash and dry the mustard greens and put them in a large bowl. In a heavy skillet, heat the oil then add the mustard seeds and cook on moderate heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until the seeds stop popping. (You'll want to partially cover the pan to keep them from popping out.)

When the seeds stop popping, add the onion and cook until clear, remove from heat and stir in the vinegar. Put it back on burner and bring the mix to a boil. Drizzle this over the greens, add the crubmbled turkey bacon and toss well.

1 pound of mustard greens
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoons oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
pepper
1 avocado, cut up

Wash the mustard greens, and cut into strips. Discard the stems. In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, oil, and salt. Bring this to a boil then pour it over the greens. Toss the salad well then add the avocado and serve.
