This meal is not only tasty but also supports a healthy diet. Each bite is a step toward better nutrition. To make the Green Goddess dressing, gather your ingredients. You need fresh basil, fresh parsley, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Place the basil and parsley in a blender. Add the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic. Blend until smooth. This dressing is creamy and bright. Taste it and add salt and pepper as needed. Set the dressing aside for later use. It's the star of the salad wraps. Next, let’s prepare the collard greens. Remove the tough stems from each leaf. If you use collard greens, you may want to blanch them. Boil water in a pot and dip the leaves for about 30 seconds. This step makes the leaves soft and easy to roll. After blanching, quickly place them in ice water to stop the cooking. This keeps the color bright. Pat the leaves dry with a clean towel. If you choose lettuce, you can skip the blanching. Just wash the leaves and they are ready to go. Now, it's time to put it all together. Lay a collard green leaf flat on a clean cutting board. Start by spreading a thin layer of the Green Goddess dressing on the leaf. This adds flavor to each bite. In the center, add a scoop of cooked quinoa. Then layer in cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, cucumber, minced red onion, shredded carrots, fresh spinach, and pumpkin seeds. Once you have your filling, fold the sides of the leaf inward. Roll the leaf tightly from the bottom to the top. This keeps all the yummy ingredients inside. After rolling, slice the wrap in half. Drizzle some extra dressing on top for added flavor. You can serve these wraps on a nice platter. They look great and taste even better! To keep your wraps fresh, store them in an airtight container. Avoid stacking them too tightly. Place a piece of parchment paper between each wrap. This helps keep them from sticking. If you have extra dressing, store it separately. Add it right before serving for the best taste. For a fun presentation, arrange the wraps on a colorful platter. Cut them in half to show off the filling. Drizzle extra Green Goddess dressing on top. You can also sprinkle more pumpkin seeds for crunch. Fresh herbs add a lovely touch. Serve with a small bowl for dipping. One common mistake is overfilling the wraps. This makes them hard to roll. Be sure to leave space at the edges. Also, do not skip the blanching step for collard greens. This makes them easier to fold. Finally, always taste the dressing. Adjust the seasoning to your liking for the best flavor. {{image_2}} You can switch up the greens if collard leaves aren’t your style. Lettuce wraps work well, too. Try using butter lettuce for a soft bite. If you want more crunch, use romaine. You can also swap quinoa for brown rice or farro. They add a nice texture. For a fun twist, add roasted sweet potatoes or chickpeas for extra flavor. This wrap is easy to make vegan. Just use plant-based yogurt for the dressing. You can also skip the yogurt for a lighter touch. Make sure to check your dressing for gluten-free options. Most are fine, but it’s good to check labels. If you need a nut-free option, replace pumpkin seeds with sunflower seeds. Need more protein? Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Cooked lentils or beans are great, too. They blend well with the other flavors. You can even sprinkle some feta cheese if you like. Just remember to balance flavors so each bite is tasty. Feel free to experiment! Store leftover wraps in an airtight container. This keeps them fresh. If you have extra dressing, add it in a small bowl. I recommend wrapping each one in plastic wrap too. This helps prevent them from drying out. Keep the container in the fridge. These wraps taste great cold, but you can warm them up. To reheat, unwrap each one. Place them in a pan over low heat. You can also use a microwave for 30 seconds. Check to see if they are warm enough. Avoid overheating as it can make them soggy. The wraps will last for about 3 days in the fridge. The quinoa and veggies stay good for this time. If you store the dressing separately, it can last up to a week. Always check for freshness before eating. If anything looks or smells off, throw it away. A Green Goddess Salad Wrap is a fresh and healthy meal. It uses collard green leaves or lettuce as wraps. Inside, you fill it with quinoa and fresh veggies. The wrap is drizzled with a creamy Green Goddess dressing made from herbs and yogurt. This dish is bright, tasty, and packed with nutrients.
