Chickpea Salad Wraps Ingredients
Chickpea Salad Wraps Instructions
- Mash the Chickpeas: Start by draining and rinsing a can of chickpeas. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the chickpeas in a bowl, leaving a few chunks for texture.
- Mix in Flavors: Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed chickpeas. If you’re looking for an extra flavor boost, toss in some nutritional yeast for a cheesy kick. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Blanch the Collard Greens: Collard greens are a great alternative to tortillas because they’re sturdy, low in calories, and packed with nutrients. To make them pliable, blanch the leaves by dipping them into boiling water for 30-60 seconds. Immediately transfer the leaves to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, and then pat them dry.
- Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out a collard green leaf and place 2-3 tablespoons of the chickpea salad in the center. Fold in the sides of the leaf and roll it up like a burrito. Secure it with a toothpick to keep everything in place.
- Pack and Store: Each wrap can be stored in an individual Ziploc bag for easy transport. You can also roll it in parchment paper and tear it away beginning at the top as you eat. The bag can also serve as a holder while you eat, making these wraps perfect for when you’re on the go and can’t wash your hands.
- Enjoy!

Why Collard Greens?
Not only do collard greens make a great low-calorie wrap, but they are also rich in nutrients. They’re loaded with antioxidants and provide a good source of calcium, folate, and fiber. Plus, their sturdy structure makes them ideal for holding up to the creamy chickpea salad filling.
Pro Tip: Customize the Filling!
Feel free to get creative with your chickpea salad! Add chopped veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, or grated carrots for added crunch. You can also switch up the spices based on your preferences—add a dash of cumin for a smoky flavor or some fresh herbs like parsley for brightness.
