A bit late in the season, but...




Very Veggie Hummus Wrap
Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 large collard green leaf
Hummus of your choice
3-4 Slices of Avocado
3-4 Slices Tomato
3-4 Slices Onion
6 Slices Cucumber
Handful of Sprouts 
Sprinkle of Lemon Juice

Directions:
1. Trim stem off bottom of collard leaf, and use a sharp paring knife held parallel to your cutting board to shave the rib that runs down the leaf’s center until it’s approximately the same thickness as the leaf. 
2. Spoon flat layer of hummus down the center of the leaf, making sure there is a 1-inch border all around. Arrange the rest of the ingredients on top of the hummus. Top with lemon juice or flavoring of your choice. Fold sides of leaf in toward the center. Roll leaf away from you as you would a burrito, making sure to tuck side edges in as you roll. Eat right away or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours for later. Enjoy!

3. Spoon cabbage-peanut-sauce mixture onto bottom one-third of leaf, making sure there is a 1-inch border all around. Arrange chicken over carrot mixture and top with hot sauce.
