Erewhon’s Collard Green Madwrap

Make the ever so popular Collard Green Madwrap from LA’s Erewhon Market. This recipe is a delicious and healthy lunch idea made with all gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients.

Last week we went to LA and I ate this wrap 3x in 3 days. It is such a delicious flavor combo and it is a healthy and tasty lunch idea. I brought this with me to the trade show each day and it was so satisfying, nutritious and the flavors are so good.

I was a bit hesitant on eating a collard green wrap that also had kale salad in it. But leave it to Erewhon to show us how to make it taste amazing. The dressing is light yet tasty and the combo of the seeds, avocado and beans with some hummus is just too good.

I also love that the turkey in this adds protein to the wraps. This recipe is also naturally gluten-free. But if you wanted to make this on a flour tortilla, you can! Use a burrito/large size one so it fits all the goods. Not one of the 8 or 9-inch tortillas we usually use here for quesadillas and such.

I cannot wait to hearth you think of these wraps. Have patience when rolling them – it is an art form.

What ingredients are in Erewhon’s Madwraps:

• Tuscan kale – you can use baby kale too if you want. I usually buy pre-cut but you can buy a bundle and cut
• Pumpkin seeds – you can do raw or roasted seeds for this
• Sunflower seeds – I like using both raw or roasted, you can use either
• Cannellini beans – I look for organic and no salt added when I can
• Avocado – ripe avocado is needed for this!
• Olive oil – extra virgin olive oil works best but you can use avocado oil too if you want
• Maple syrup – I use maple syrup over honey but either works
• Lemon juice – I use fresh lemon juice from lemons
• Dijon mustard – adds such a flavor boost
• Collard green leaves – rinsed and dried. Cut the stems if too long
• Hummus – your favorite hummus is great. I use classic flavor
• Turkey breast – I buy cold-cut turkey for these

How to make these collard green Madwraps:

1. Add the kale, seeds, beans and avocado to large bowl and toss
2. Mix together dressing indents and add to salad (dress to your liking! start with less)
3. Massage the greens with the dressing and set aside
4. To make the wraps, overlap 2 collard green leaves and spread hummus across
5. Add 3 slices of turkey on top and a serving of the kale salad
6. Roll stem side first and fold sides in to form wrap (see video)
7. Slice in half and enjoy! You may want to roll in parchment paper and then slice to help the wrap stay together – collard green wraps are stubborn!

FAQs and tips on making these Madwrap’s:

• Can I use a regular tortilla for these? Yes absolutely! If you want to do this with a flour tortilla or whole wheat wrap, you totally can.
• How long do these wraps stay good for? 3 days in the fridge. You don’t want this to be too soggy.
