Ingredients

• 4 leaves Large collard green leaves
• 1 small Zucchini
• 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 8 pieces Kalamata olives (pitted)
• 0.25 cup Vegan feta cheese
• 0.5 cup Hummus (made from non-starchy vegetables like cauliflower or zucchini)
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

1. Wash and pat dry the collard green leaves. Carefully shave down the thick stem on the back of each leaf without cutting through so the leaves become more pliable.

Step 2

2. Using a vegetable peeler or knife, slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. Chop the cherry tomatoes into halves. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds. Roughly chop the Kalamata olives.

Step 3

3. Prepare the hummus by blending cooked, non-starchy vegetables such as cauliflower or zucchini along with tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, or use store-bought keto-friendly hummus.

Step 4

4. Lay two collard green leaves on a flat surface, slightly overlapping to create a sturdy base for each sandwich.

Step 5

5. Spread a layer of hummus in the center of the collard leaves.

Step 6

6. Layer the zucchini ribbons, cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, Kalamata olives, vegan feta cheese, and fresh basil leaves evenly over the hummus.

Step 7

7. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the toppings, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

8. Fold the sides of the collard greens over the filling, then roll them up tightly from the bottom like a burrito to form a wrap-style sandwich.

Step 9

9. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your keto vegan Mediterranean sandwich!
