Quick easy snack which allows you to use a green leafy vegetable vs bread! Yummy! I am on the advanced program for the diabesity so therefore I do not have the rice with this dish.

Sounds delicious as well as attractive. Maybe for a nutritious party platter. Thanks for the recipe.
Next time I cook it I will add a picture to my blog. It does make cute little wraps.
Well, we had the wonderful salmon collard wraps again and they were still so good. I just love this alternative to using bread! I will also enjoy other things wrapped in collards.
