Holiday Quinoa Wraps
Quinoa mingles with apples, sweet dried cranberries & earthy walnuts in these healthy holiday collard green wraps. The optional dressing brings together tangy mustard with sweet maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. In preparation for this dish, steam the collard greens until they are vibrant green & pliable.
