Rainbow Collard Green Wraps are colorful, fresh, and nutrient-dense wraps filled with vibrant vegetables, creamy spreads, and grains or proteins — all rolled in a sturdy collard green leaf. They’re naturally gluten-free, plant-based, and perfect for a light, energizing meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 large collard green leaves, washed and stems trimmed
  • 2 tbsp hummus or nut-based spread (e.g., cashew cheese or almond butter)
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • ¼ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ cucumber, julienned
  • ¼ cup shredded purple cabbage
  • ½ avocado, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, or parsley)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or dressing of choice (tahini, peanut sauce, vinaigrette)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim the thick part of the collard green stems to make leaves more pliable.
  2. Blanch leaves in hot water for 10–15 seconds, then transfer to ice water. Pat dry.
  3. Lay each leaf flat and spread a layer of hummus or nut spread down the center.
  4. Layer with quinoa, bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, avocado, and herbs.
  5. Drizzle with lemon juice or dressing, then season with salt and pepper.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito.
  7. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for later.

Notes

  • Swap quinoa for lentils, couscous, or other grains.
  • Add grilled tofu, tempeh, or roasted chickpeas for protein.
  • Try different spreads like baba ganoush, guacamole, or spicy hummus.
  • For Thai-inspired wraps, use peanut sauce and basil.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated up to 2 days.
