Jane, you will like this one. My original "Collard Cone." Like ice cream, it could get messy!

Recipe: one flat large collard leaf (I shaved the hard spine so it would not be stiff). Sliced avocado, sliced bell pepper, some hummus, and black bean quinoa salad with mint. Put some of each in the middle of leaf and then roll up like a cone. Can be done a bunch of ways.

For quinoa salad, one cup quinoa cooked per directions. Let cool. Juice of 1.5-2 lemons, one garlic clove minced, three green onions sliced, one can black beans rinsed, olive oil oil (I do almost the same amount as the lemon juice produces, but slightly less), one tomato chopped, a bunch of fresh mint (or dry) chopped, salt. Mix all together and some yumminess there. All plant-based! Sooooooo good.

I used the leftover quinoa and pre-packaged hummus to make this dish for lunch. Easy peasy.

Yum. So are you going to start a cookbook? You have the magnificent pictures for it

That looks great! I've been wanting to change up my lunch wraps and this might be the trick!

@grammyn I always wanted a restaurant, but alas, I am just happy cooking. I used to cater too. Now that I have the renovated kitchen, I am so content!

@ladygator collards have a crunch and are peppery. Yum!

Beautiful photo and oh so yummy! I will make the quinoa black bean salad for sure. No collard greens in our garden but maybe kale would substitute

@jgpittenger if you shave that tough spine on the back, it is more pliable. Some folks soak the leaves in some worm water first too or just chop the kale up annd add to salad!

I have to laugh re the typo...worm water!
