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.
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.
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.
4. Lay two collard green leaves on a flat surface, slightly overlapping to create a sturdy base for each sandwich.
5. Spread a layer of hummus in the center of the collard leaves.
6. Layer the zucchini ribbons, cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, Kalamata olives, vegan feta cheese, and fresh basil leaves evenly over the hummus.
7. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the toppings, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
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.
9. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your keto vegan Mediterranean sandwich!
