Ingredients

  • For the wraps:
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot (from 1 medium carrot)
  • 1/3 cup tart cherries (or sub chopped Medjool dates or dried cranberries)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • For the tahini curry dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons tahini (I like Soom Foods)
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
  • 3/4 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne for spicy curry flavor!
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • Lots of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-3 tablespoons water to thin
  • For the wraps:
  • 4 large collard greens (get as big as you can!)
  • ½ cup shredded red cabbage
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1/4 cup roasted and salted cashews, roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Add rinsed and drained chickpeas to a large bowl and use a masher or fork to mash most of the chickpeas. Add in diced celery, shredded carrot, tart cherries, cilantro and diced red onion.
  • In a separate bowl, make the dressing: add tahini, lemon juice, pure maple syrup, curry powder, grated ginger, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt and pepper. Add 1-3 tablespoons of water to thin until a nice creamy consistency. Mix to combine until a creamy dressing forms. Add more water if necessary. I found that somewhere between 2-3 tablespoons is perfect.
  • Add dressing to the chickpea salad. Stir to combine and coat all the ingredients with dressing. Taste and adjust as necessary. You may want to add more salt and/or pepper.
  • Place your collard green to a cutting board and cut off the large stems at the bottom. After that you’ll use a knife to thinly shave the remaining stem down so it’s thin and you can easily bend and roll the collard green.
  • Place a collard leaf on a plate and top with 1/4th of the chickpea salad. Top each with shredded red cabbage, 1 tablespoon of roasted cashews, and extra cilantro. Wrap up like a burrito, folding ends in as you go, then cut the wrap in half if desired and enjoy!

Notes

To store: store any leftover curry chickpea salad or full collard wraps in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
