Ingredients
- ½ large carrot
- ½ medium seedless cucumber
- ½ red pepper
- ½ yellow pepper
- ½ cup microgreens
- 4 collard greens
- 4 tablespoon hummus
Instructions
- Rinse, peel & cut the carrot and cucumber into thin strips.
- Clean, half & seed the peppers. Cut into thin strips.
- Rinse & dry microgreens.
- Trim the stem and spine of the collard green leaves.
- Bring a quart of salted water to a boil and lower flame. Submerge the leaves (one at a time) into the simmering water for 20-30 seconds. Place the collard greens in a clean dish cloth (or between 2 paper towels) and pat dry gently and completely.
- Measure hummus into a small bowl. Place all the ingredients on a cutting board. You are now ready to wrap!
- Lay out collard greens with de-stemmed section overlapping each other (with no openings). Stack in order - hummus, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, microgreens & cilantro. Now start rolling tightly and tuck in the sides to close the end openings.
- Either slice in half or eat whole. Enjoy!
Notes
Collard Greens Wraps hold very well for a packed lunch kept cool!
Make sure to clean the collard greens well. They tend to have a lot of grit which won't feel good if you bite into it!
For a heartier vegan collard wrap, add some roasted tempeh! Be sure to set aside some tempeh marinade and drizzle it as a topping.
Storage: After wrapping store the collard green rolls in a single layer in a container in the fridge. These wraps don't work well to freeze.
