Tuna Salad Collard Wraps
Fresh and flavorful, these low carb wraps using collard greens as a healthy low carb swap are nutrient-packed and a great alternative to salads as a way to get plenty of veggies, greens, and more!
Ingredients
- 2 cans Tuna 5 oz each; drained
- 1 Avocado mashed
- ½ Red Bell Pepper diced
- 1 Carrot pre-shredded bagged or grated
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice or juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup Cilantro finely chopped
- ¼ tsp Sea Salt or more to taste
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- 4 Collard Green full leaves
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt plain
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Green Goddess Seasoning or other
Instructions
- Prepare your salad mixture: scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium bowl, mash the avocado with the back of a fork. Add the tuna (or protein of choice), veggies, juice, cilantro, salt and pepper. Combine.
- Make your dip: combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, and seasoning mixture. Add salt to taste.
- Prepare your collard leaves: Rinse & pat dry the collard leaves. Lay a collard leaf flat on a cutting board with the top dark green side down. Using your knife parallel to the leaf, slice through the stem in a lengthwise fashion down the leaf to remove the bulging portion of the stem (this will make the leaf easier to bend without breaking). Chop off the part of the stem that is below the leaf and discard the stem pieces.
- Assemble your collard wraps: Scoop about 1⁄2 cup of the salad mixture onto the lower center of the leaf (as shown to the right). Fold the edges in, then roll the leaf like a burrito. Repeat with leaves and mixture until all of the salad is used. You may want to use more leaves to use up the mixture, depending on the size of the leaves.
