These crunchy & creamy little wraps are incredibly healthy but are so tasty and delicious, you’ll never miss the bad stuff. The raw veggies are a rainbow of colors & nutrients, and the sauce…well, the sauce is something special. You could use it on anything – as a salad dressing, on any sandwich, as a dip, on chicken…you gotsta try it.
I used whole grain tortillas to wrap up all the goodness, but another option is to use whole collard green leaves. I learned this from my raw foodist friends at RAWvolution – a raw food restaurant & home food delivery service. I styled a couple really awesome books for them – check them out… RAWvolution: Gourmet Living Cuisine and The RAWvolution Continues.
If you want to go raw with the sauce as well, just omit the yogurt – it’s delicious either way. Whatever you choose with this recipe, you will feel really great about yourself when you eat 🙂
