Green Chickpea Salad Collard Wraps

Green chickpea wraps made with an avocado and almond milk yogurt base. Gluten-free, oil-free these wraps are perfect for a light refreshing lunch.

Green Chickpea Salad Collard Wraps by Flora & Vino It’s HOT here.

I open the windows in the morning to let warm air in while slurping down a frosty shake, quickly shutting them post-brain freeze because it’s just too humid.

It’s all OK because I have the perfect recipe to share for a heat wave.

Two firsts are going down with this post— first wrap AND first chickpea salad!

I’ve been making these Green Chickpea Salad Collard Wraps for the perfect light yet satisfying summer plate.

The first time I tried collard ‘wraps’ I was totally skeptical.

You want me to stuff all of my sandwich toppings into…that?

I’m sorry I so grossly underestimated you, collards.

After stuffing them with copious amounts of this Green Chickpea Salad, I’m pretty sure these sturdy greens can withstand anything.

I thought it might be helpful to share my preparation for collard leaves since my first time was…shall we say, less than yummy.

Oh, it was going just fine, until I chomped down hard on the bitter center stem, and, in trying to gnaw through it, split my wrap in half.

Chickpeas overboard.

Whether you like your collard wraps raw or blanched, my preparation method begins the same way.

First, I rinse the collard leaf and pat dry.

Next, cut the stem with a knife or kitchen shears so it’s flush with the base of the leaf.

Now flip over the leaf and “shave” down the protruding core of the stem so that it’s as close to the leaf as possible without tearing it.

At this point, your collard green is good to go raw, so wrap and enjoy.

Alternatively,  you can choose to blanch your collard greens by placing in boiling water for 30 seconds, then quickly plunging into a bucket of ice water.

This chickpea salad is ridiculously creamy while still being light and oil-free.

The creamy base is a mixture of almond milk yogurt and avocado, dressed up with sweet basil, tart lemon, and red onion.

Not a fan of collard greens?

This Green Chickpea Salad is also great as a salad topper, on toast, on crackers, or by the spoonful.

I love to eat my collard wraps for a quick five minute lunch, but it would also be perfect for a light summer dinner.

Description

Enjoy these green chickpea wraps made with an avocado and almond milk yogurt base. Gluten-free, grain-free, oil-free, and plant based. These wraps are perfect for a light refreshing lunch!


Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk yogurt
  • handful of basil or dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1 lemon, squeezed
  • pinch of Himalayan sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • 4–6 collard wraps

Instructions

  1. Add the chickpeas, avocado, almond milk yogurt, basil, and red onion to a mixing bowl and lightly smash with a fork.
  2. Add in the lemon, Himalayan sea salt, and black pepper and stir again to combine.
  3. Rinse and dry your collard leaves.
  4. Trim down the stem and shave down the backside with a knife to remove as much of the tough protruding core as you can.
  5. At this point, you can top with the green chickpea salad and enjoy raw, or blanch the leaves by dipping in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunging into ice- water to halt cooking.
  6. To assemble the collard wraps, divide chickpea salad between collard wraps and wrap up like a burrito to eat.
  7. Serve immediately.
  8. Store leftover green chickpea salad in the fridge for 2-3 days, thought best when fresh.

Notes

**If you don’t like collard wraps, try this salad on crackers, toast, whole wheat tortilla, or by the spoonful!

Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳Th Can we make Soba Saturday a thing? 🥰 🍜🍳This CASHEW BUTTER SOBA NOODLE STIR FRY is new on the blog today. This simple stir-fry is made with buckwheat soba noodles and tender-crisp vegetables in a creamy cashew butter sauce. It’s perfect for a quick and cozy plant-based dinner! 👏

This recipe’s foundation is made with @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles. //#sponsored If you’re gluten-free like me, you might have mistakenly avoided buckwheat believing that it is a type of wheat. However, despite the name, buckwheat isn’t a wheat at all, and is actually naturally gluten-free! 😱
Buckwheat protein is awesome because it has all essential amino acids. @edenfoods Buckwheat Soba Noodles are made from only two ingredients: 100% whole grain organic buckwheat and purified water! They’re fantastic paired with tender-crisp veggies and a dreamy cashew butter sauce. 🥰
