Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large leaves collard green leaves
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna (sustainably sourced, in water)
- 1 large avocado
- 1 medium carrot
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 large cucumber
- 2 tablespoons (finely minced) red onion
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the collard green leaves. Using a paring knife, carefully slice off any thick stem to make the leaves more pliable without tearing them. Set aside.
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces for a smoother texture.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna. Mash together until well combined and creamy.
Peel the carrot and use a julienne peeler or knife to cut it into thin matchstick-size pieces. Do the same with the red bell pepper and cucumber.
Add the minced red onion, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the tuna and avocado mixture. Mix thoroughly to create the zippy tuna pate.
Place one collard green leaf on a flat surface. Spread about two tablespoons of the tuna pate mixture onto the center of the leaf.
Layer a few julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and cucumber pieces on top of the tuna mixture.
Fold the sides of the collard green leaf inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Slice each roll in half at an angle, if desired, and serve immediately as a light meal or snack.
