Detox Rainbow Roll-Ups are a vibrant and healthy choice for lunch, especially if you’re looking for something both beautiful and nutritious. These roll-ups feature a mix of crunchy vegetables like carrots and cucumbers, along with red cabbage, all wrapped in a fresh collard leaf. The filling includes a flavorful curry hummus and you can add cooked rice or quinoa if you’re in the mood for something heartier. Topped with peanuts and cilantro, these wraps are not only tasty but also visually appealing.
To make them even more delicious, there’s a homemade peanut sauce that’s simple to whip up. Just blend peanut butter, soy sauce (use tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option), rice vinegar, water, honey, and a clove of garlic until smooth.
Here’s how to prepare the wraps: Start by trimming the stem from the collard greens to make the leaves more pliable. Lay out the leaf, arrange the fillings on top, and then roll it up tightly, folding the ends in to keep all the ingredients contained. If the leaves are too stiff, you can steam them briefly, run them under hot water, or place hot rice on them to soften them up a bit.
It’s best to prepare these wraps fresh to prevent the hummus from becoming watery. However, you can chop all your veggies and keep them ready in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat, just assemble your roll-up. Secure it with a toothpick to hold everything together nicely.
This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner and can easily be adjusted to be completely sugar-free by substituting white distilled vinegar for the honey in the peanut sauce. Enjoy your colorful and healthy meal!
