Veggies
Directions: Add 1 large bunch of collard leaves. Optionally use grated carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, spinach leaves, cucumber matchsticks,cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, jicama, fresh pineapple, raisins, or onions.
Assembly
Wash collard leaves. Slice down the center of each side of the spine, leaving 2 halves. Place leaf on a plate lengthwise. Spread about 2 TB of filling along the lower half of the leaf. Spoon on the veggies (don't over fill or it will be hard to roll up). Drizzle a small amount of the dipping sauce on top. Sprinkle on sesame seeds. Roll into burrito shape. Serve with dipping sauce.
