Leafy greens are extremely healthy and you should always have some at home, but keep in mind they go bad pretty quickly. You’ll probably be dealing with some leftovers every now and then, but you should never let them spoil and try making one of these five dishes instead.

Homemade Pesto

If you enjoy making homemade pesto, kale and spinach can be used for this purpose. Your sauce will taste delicious even if they’re not 100% fresh.

Coleslaw

It’s pretty common to make coleslaw with cabbage, but it’s not the only option. You can also replace this veggie with certain leafy greens, such as kale and chard.

Green Smoothies

Green smoothies are often hailed as the healthiest of all varieties and you can take them to a whole new level with leafy greens even if they’ve been around for a few days.

Stir Fry

Leafy greens don’t have to be super-fresh if you’re planning to use them in a stir fry, and kale, spinach, and arugula are some of the best choices for this dish.

Creamy Soups

You can also enhance the taste and healthy properties of your creamy soups by blending leftover leafy greens with other ingredients.
