RAW Collard Wrap w/ Fresh Beet Salad in a Peach-Poppyseed Dressing


A friend of mine had picked collards and beets today and gave me some of each. It is so nice to be able to eat something that has been picked only a few hours ago, so i knew i had to make something with these two things.  The first dish that came to my mind was to make a salad with the beets, but after tasting the salad i thought...i bet this would go great in the collard as a wrap. Let me tell you, it was Awesome together. The only thing i wish i had made more of was the peach-poppyseed dressing (i have a video for that too under salad dressings) so we could of dipped our wraps in more of the sauce.  So make extra dressing:) I used a mandoline to slice my beets to get them very thin, but you could use a vegetable peeler or grate them in the food processor. Make sure to cut out the stem from the collard greens, they can be a little tough. Enjoy!!!

3 each Beets, i used red, yellow and candy striped, thinnly sliced
2 each Carrots, sliced thin
