Vegan Veggie Wraps
Ingredients
4 medium collard green leaves, washed & dried with stems removed
1 Tbsp chopped fresh flat leaf parsley or your fave herbs (in the summer mint, basil and cilantro are my jam)
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice-(sub orange/ in combo with the sesame oil* is lovely here too)
1 Tbsp sesame oil (optional*)
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup hummus
1 medium carrot cut into matchsticks
1 medium cucumber cut into matchsticks
1 medium red or yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
½ cup fresh microgreens or sprouts
¼ medium avocado sliced thin
2 Tbsp hemp seeds
Preparation
Make the collard stems thinner with a vegetable peeler by starting at the bottom of the leaf and peel upward toward the leaf without cutting through.
Combine the quinoa, lemon juice, oil and black pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
Place leaves green side down on a cutting board or where you are working in the kitchen. Spread your hummus even in the middle of each leaf .
Top evenly with the quinoa mix, carrot, cukes, bell peppers, microgreens, avocado and hemp seeds.
Fold one long side toward the middle and roll into itself. Close these babes up with toothpicks.
Tips
Other sub ideas for hummus: Guac, mustard, a little hot sauce mixed with nut butter and some coconut aminos can be great in a pinch too!
