Ingredients

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 prunes, soaked until soft, or overnight
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons shredded carrots
2 tablespoons shredded cucumber
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped green or red bell pepper
1/2 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted, cut into 4 slices
4 tomato slices
2 large collard leaves, thick stem removed (see note)
2 medium romaine leaves

Instructions:

Combine the Dijon mustard, prunes, and red wine vinegar in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in carrots, cucumber, red onion and pepper.

Lay out a large collard leaf and place a romaine leaf on top of it. Top with half of the mustard/vegetable mixture and 2 slices of tomato and avocado. Roll like a burrito.

Note: If desired, the collard leaves may be blanched before using to make them softer and more pliable.
Place the leaves in simmering water for 30 seconds, then submerge in ice water for 10 seconds.

I haven't tried this filling, but have been using collard leaves as "wraps"; I watched a U-tube video which showed how to pare down the thick stem, without cutting it out; it makes the leaf more pliable for wrapping.  I wrap almond butter and banana in it, or a Better Burger.

Have had this recipe for awhile, and finally made it last night to go with the Creamy Carrot and Fennel Soup. They tasted wonderfully together! I didn't have prunes, so I used unsulphured dried apricots with Trader Joe's (now discontinued) Pomegranate vinegar. It was a little tart, so I added a few dates, and it was perfect. Both recipes are quick and easy, and taste good together.

We liked the filling, but definitely not the collards as wraps. Next time, I will shred the collards (using a max of one leaf for four wraps), mix them into the filling, and use a spinach tortilla wrap or something.

Romaine lettuce makes for a tasty wrap.

Love it. The taste is great. Going to try again to make it more manageable. I think I will cut the stem out and overlap the two halves of the collard leaf this time.
