Ingredients
- 1 bunch baby cabbage leaves or leaves of choice
- mixed sprouts, red clover and radish
- 2 medium size beets, grated
- 4 carrots, grated
- 1-2 cups cilantro, chopped
- 1-2 slices purple onion, finely minced

- 1/4 cup raw tahini
- dash of water

Directions
Step 1
Mix all together except collard leaves and sprouts. Use the leaf as a tortilla and wrap the filling in with some sprouts, roll up like a burrito. I use the green leaf tortilla wrap for any kind of salad I make and they are always so good and different.
