Salmon Salad In Steamed Collard Wraps

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Wild Rice rinsed
• 3 Cups Water
• 4 Medium Collard Leaves
• 1 Can (7.5 ounce) Unsalted Salmon
• 2 Tablespoons Red Onion minced
• 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Clove Garlic minced
• 1 Tablespoons Capers
• 6 Cherry Tomatoes sliced

Method

Step 1

To cook the wild rice: Place the wild rice in a small pan. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Drain excess water from the rice through a small strainer.

Step 2

To prepare the collard greens: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a large sauté pan. Place the collard greens in the water, cover, and turn off heat. Allow to sit 1 minute, then rinse the collard greens under cold water.

Step 3

Drain the juice from the canned salmon. Place the salmon (skin and small bones included) in a medium bowl and use a fork to flake the salmon. Add the onion, oil, garlic, cooked rice, and capers.

Step 4

Lay out each steamed collard leaf on a plate and divide the salmon and sliced tomatoes among the four plates. Feel free to add a little of your favorite premade sugar-free salad dressing or an extra splash of olive oil. Roll the collard greens as you would a tortilla and enjoy.

Step 5

Note: omit the rice from this recipe if you are on the advanced plan.
