Young dragons sometimes wait before trying veggies. Putting them in a food processor seems to help for very young ones (did mine anyway). I think it enhances the smell.
Collard greens are a good staple. Check out the link below for more info on veggies.

One trick I've heard of to get them to start eating vegies is to dump their crickets/worms in the vege bowl when feeding them. Sometimes they may take a bite at their live prey, and get a bite of salad with it. Then they realize that it's something good for them to eat.

Best way I have found is to put them on the floor directly of the enclosure. Of course this will only work for some type of substrate that will not stick to the food.....like sand would not work with doing this. But I use all paper so it is no problem for the babies and they seem to munch on it willingly very young when they have easy access to it. Chris
