I found these purple mustard greens at my local farmers market and had to experiment. Purple vegetables often loose their color once they’re cooked- purple mashed potatoes usually turn grey. The vivid color of this dip blew my mind. This picture doesn’t do it justice.
The most remarkable thing was how delicious it was! I love spinach dip, but this was even better.
If you ever have the chance to buy purple mustard greens, I highly recommend you do.

1

Melt butter in lg sauté pan. Add onions and cook until translucent.

If you want to use toasted bread to dip, cut a baguette into 1/4” slices, top with olive oil and put them in the oven for about 5- 7 min while the dip is cooking. Or until they’re as toasted as you’d like

Tips

Before you bake it, taste to adjust the salt levels
If it’s too thick, add more milk
Any hearty leafy green, or a mix of them could work in this recipe, or a mixture but only purple mustard greens will yield this brilliant purple.
You can use any cheese you’d like.
