Use whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand. Try thin slices of bell peppers, sunflower sprouts, radish slices, sliced avocado, fresh basil, sliced red cabbage, or even fresh mango! If your collard greens are not young and tender, you might want to blanch them to make them easier to roll. See instructions on this recipe for doing so. If you don't have raw cashew butter on hand for the dipping sauce then try sunflower seed butter or almond butter instead! The dipping sauce below is spicy and perfectly balances the wraps. For a less spicy sauce, use 1 chili pepper only and remove the seeds.
