If you’ve never used collard green leaves as a wrap for your sandwiches, let this recipe be your inspiration. Rolled up like a burrito, these wraps give your sandwich a boost of nutrients, a crunchy and refreshing texture, and a low-carb, gluten-free way to enjoy a meal.

I love curried chickpeas, because they have an egg salad or chicken salad like consistency without the dairy. They’re packed with protein, vitamins, and I always have a can of chickpeas in my pantry and a tub of tahini, so it’s easy to whip up. The chickpeas are mashed and mixed with basic pantry and fridge ingredients and topped with spiralized veggies, avocado, and wrapped up in the collard green leaf.

These sandwiches are easy to make and work well also stuffed in between your favorite bread slices – I love using a hearty multigrain bread with some hummus and greens (like a spinach or spring mix) and enjoying it that way.

The curried chickpeas save in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, but are best enjoyed fresh! Top with some spiralized cabbage, maybe some alfalfa sprouts – whatever you’re in the mood for!

If you can’t find carrots large enough to spiralize, just use a vegetable peeler or julienne peeler. Choose your own adventure!

  • You have "named" all the types of noodles that your Inspiralizer can make: ribbons, fettuccine, linguine, and spaghetti. It would be nice if you could include that in your recipes for those of us who have the original spiralizer that you recommended, and not yours. It seems it would be simple enough to say: 1 large red bell pepper, Blade A (ribbons), noodles trimmed. I hope you will consider this. Thank you.
