Chicken Waldorf Collard Wrap (PCOS-Friendly)
This high fiber, high protein lunch is a delicious twist on the classic.
Ingredients
- 4 collards leaves, trimmed and lightly blanched
- 2 cups chicken breast cooked, shredded
- 1/2 cup grapes green, chopped
- 1 apple small, chopped
- 3 scallions chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 1/4 cup walnuts raw, chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise unsweetened
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep
- Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a large bowl.
- Remove stems of collards. Place each leaf on a flat surface and, using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, shave off some of the spine to make it more flexible. Blanch in very hot water to soften and set aside.
- Chop grapes, apple, scallions, celery, and walnuts.
Make
- To the chicken, add chopped ingredients and mayonnaise and toss well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place collard leaf vertically on a flat surface with the stem side toward you.
- Place 1/4 of the mixture on the front third of one of the collard leaves and roll to create a wrap. Repeat with remaining collard leaves.
- Other vehicles for this salad include endive spears and romaine lettuce leaves. Of course, you can enjoy it as a sandwich or on top of a pile of greens.
