Yield
MAKES 4 WRAPS
Ingredients
2 large collard leaves
2 cups spinach, washed well
½ recipe Red Pepper Hummus (page 184 Ani's Raw Food Essentials) recipe follows
1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
½ cup zucchini, cut into long, thin spears
¼ cup pitted, chopped black olives
Recipe Directions
Cut the leaves away from the thick center stem of each collard leaf to make a total
of four flat pieces.
Top each collard section with spinach leaves. Then, spoon Red Pepper Hummus across the bottom edge of the shorter width of each leaf. Top with avocado, zucchini, and black olives. Roll up into a wrap and serve.
Will keep for up to a day at room temperature, or store for a day or two in the
fridge.
RED PEPPER HUMMUS (BEAN-FREE)
MAKES 2 CUPS
This hummus is made using tahini, as in traditional recipes, but instead of chickpeas, I use red bell pepper and a pinch of cumin for a richer flavor. Sesame powder helps absorb some of the excess liquid from the juicy bell pepper.
½ cup sesame seeds, ground into a powder
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups seeded and diced red bell pepper
1/3 cup tahini
¼ cup lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
In a food processor, process the sesame seeds, garlic, and salt into small pieces.
Add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.
