Veggie Wrap

This is one of those “use up what’s left before it goes bad” meals. I made it as a quick lunch, and it was absolutely delicious! I had some collard green leaves which are perfect for wraps! I hold the thick stem with one hand and pull the leaf away. Only pull the thick part away, otherwise you won’t have a wrap. The bottom half will have a gap where the stem was. Set the leaf down with the short side facing you. Put a handful of arugula on the half without the gap. Then pile on the avocado, mango, and red pepper. Drizzle some lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper over the top. Then fold the two short sides over the vegetables. Start with the long end and roll, just like a wrap. Cut in half on an angle and serve seam side down. 

Veggie Wrap– Makes 2 rolls 

2 collard green leaves, stems removed

1/2 cup arugula

1/2 avocado, sliced on a bias

1/2 mango, sliced thin

1/2 red pepper, sliced thin

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp olive oil

salt

pepper

Fold the collard green leaves in half and gently tear the large fibrous part of the stem out. Leave about 3/4 of the stem in tact so you create a bed for the vegetables. Lay the leaves down with the short side facing you. Place half of the arugula, avocado, mango, and pepper on each leaf. In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice and olive oil. Drizzle the mixture over each leaf. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tuck the shorter sides over the vegetables. Begin rolling starting with the longer end. Cut on a diagonal and serve seam side down. Enjoy!
