Total Time:20 minutes
Yield:4-6 wraps
Ingredients
Large Collard Green Leaves or Lettuce Wraps: 4-6 leaves
Fermented Vegetables: 1 cup (sauerkraut, kimchi, or a mix)
Avocado: 1/2, sliced or mashed
Cucumber: 1/2, thinly sliced
Carrot: 1/2, shredded
Sprouts: 1/2 cup (alfalfa, broccoli, or bean sprouts)
Fresh Herbs: A handful of cilantro, parsley, or dill, chopped
Optional Protein: Grilled chicken, chickpeas, or tofu (about 1/2 cup)
Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons
Lemon Juice: 1 tablespoon
Apple Cider Vinegar: 1 teaspoon
Dijon Mustard: 1 teaspoon
Honey or Maple Syrup: 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Salt and Pepper: To taste
Instructions
Prepare the Collard Green Leaves: If using collard greens, wash and pat them dry. To make them more pliable, blanch them briefly in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath. This softens the leaves without cooking them. Alternatively, you can use large lettuce leaves as a base.
Make the Zesty Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Assemble the Wraps: Lay a collard green or lettuce leaf flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of avocado on the leaf.
Add the Fillings: Layer the fermented vegetables, cucumber, carrot, sprouts, fresh herbs, and optional protein over the avocado.
Drizzle with Dressing: Drizzle the zesty dressing over the fillings. Be careful not to over-saturate the wrap.
Wrap it Up: Gently fold the sides of the leaf inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. If necessary, secure the wrap with a toothpick to keep it from unraveling.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the fermented veggie wrap immediately. If you’re preparing them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper to keep them fresh.
