1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Rinse the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Onion and Garlic
Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4
Cook the Collards
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the greens begin to wilt.
5
Add Liquids and Seasoning
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and water. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collards are tender.

7
Serve Hot
Remove the pot from heat and serve the hot vinegar collards immediately as a side dish. They can be enjoyed on their own or alongside your favorite Southern dishes.
