  • mixed sprouts, red clover and radish
  • 2 medium size beets, grated
  • 4 carrots, grated
  • 1-2 cups cilantro, chopped
  • 1-2 slices purple onion, finely minced

Directions

Mix all together except collard leaves and sprouts. Use the leaf as a tortilla and wrap the filling in with some sprouts, roll up like a burrito. I use the green leaf tortilla wrap for any kind of salad I make and they are always so good and different. One of my favorites is the Lacinato Herb Wrap.
