I have not posted a recipe in some time. This is a healthy “sandwich” that is both delicious and satisfying. Good news, it will not leave you feeling bloated or “weighed-down,” as bread can often do. Additionally, this sandwich is easily digested and assimilated in the body. Therefore, you can enjoy it without losing steam.
Inspired by Choosing Raw and Lettuce Love, and dedicated to my favorite college roomie.
The “Sandwich”
In college, my roommate started me snacking on carrots. We snacked on them during study marathons, and dipped them into salsas and honey mustard. And when the pressure was on, they became our guilt-free indulgence. And who needs chips, when you’ve got crunchy carrots? ;)
Carrots are wonderful, as they are nutrient dense, just high enough in H2O to offer hydration, and plenty high in natural sugars– providing the body with a natural source of energy. These natural sugars keep the body alert. Additionally, a good, organic, carrot, offers the palate just enough crunch, and the right amount of “sweet.”
This sandwich is creamy, crunchy, sweet, satisfying and nutrient dense. A collard green ain’t no slice of bread, but you’d be surprised at how fresh and filling it is… seriously.
Sandwich Filling
- Take 3 large Collard Green Leaves and cut them, removing them from their hard stem. You will be left with 6 “slices.” 
- Peel 1 medium Zucchini and shred 1/2 of it with a carrot peeler or mandolin (I used a carrot peeler)
- Do the same with 5 small- medium organic carrots
- Lay carrots and zucchini flat across the collard greens
- Give it a little plop of my sweet guacamole, (sans cherries)
- Sprinkle with sea salt to taste
Wrap them up as you would any tortilla wrap!
Dipping Sauce
- Chop about 1/4 cup of your remaining peeled zucchini and toss into your Magic Bullet or Blender
- 2 heaping tbsp of my sweet guacamole
- 2 tbsp of cool water
- 2 tsp agave syrup
- add celtic sea salt, to taste
Blend, and pour into a dipping bowl. Dip away!
All raw. All Vegan. Nutrient dense. A beautifully combined, an energizing “sandwich,” for any occasion.
