Hi,
I was wondering if asparagus could be substituted?
Yes, you could definitely substitute asparagus! I would recommend lightly cooking them first – unless you prefer raw!
Is there a substitute for collard greeens, like some sort of lettuce?
Zelda, You can used any lettuce that has large leafs. I sometimes use Romaine Heart leaves.
