These little bundles, Healthy-In-A-Blanket, are my over-the-top, delicious spin on a recipe my grandmother used to make. However, they bear no similar taste or look, but for the little string I tied around them.
What’s so great about these nourishing, little bundles? You can make them ahead of time to eat as a snack, a meal, or even a party offering! What’s not so great? Everyone in your house is going to love them, so you’ll need to keep making them, or making a lot when you do make them.
They are healthy, delicious and very satisfying.
They are easy to make.
They are easy to store.
They are easy to eat and serve anytime of the year!
And … they make a great addition to your get-healthy recipe collection.
To Make:
- 6 kale leaves, massaged with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and lemon (see directions below)
1st Filling:
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 1 Carrot, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon onion, chopped
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Process all ingredients in food processor until well-combined and smooth.
2nd Filling:
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 mango, chopped
- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Jalapeno, to taste
- 2 Limes, juice
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Toss ingredients together and set aside to let flavors marinate a bit.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil with 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Pour a little of this blend in your hand and massage each kale leaf. Let set so kale leafs soften a bit.
Lay out each leaf and place a healthy dollop of each filling in the middle of the leaf. Fold up. Tie up. Eat. Serve. Store. Enjoy!
