Ingredients

• 4 large leaves collard green leaves
• 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna (sustainably sourced, in water)
• 1 large avocado
• 1 medium carrot
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 0.25 large cucumber
• 2 tablespoons (finely minced) red onion
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the collard green leaves. Using a paring knife, carefully slice off any thick stem to make the leaves more pliable without tearing them. Set aside.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into smaller pieces for a smoother texture.

Step 3

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the tuna. Mash together until well combined and creamy.

Step 4

Peel the carrot and use a julienne peeler or knife to cut it into thin matchstick-size pieces. Do the same with the red bell pepper and cucumber.

Step 5

Add the minced red onion, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the tuna and avocado mixture. Mix thoroughly to create the zippy tuna pate.

Step 6

Place one collard green leaf on a flat surface. Spread about two tablespoons of the tuna pate mixture onto the center of the leaf.

Step 7

Layer a few julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and cucumber pieces on top of the tuna mixture.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the collard green leaf inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 9

Slice each roll in half at an angle, if desired, and serve immediately as a light meal or snack.
