Mango Quinoa Collard Green Wraps with Tahini Sage Miso Dip

When you see the biggest collard greens you’ve ever seen in your life, you take them home and get rollin’.

That’s what I love about local produce. It doesn’t always fit the image of what you expect to see. Imperfection at it’s finest.

This afternoon I was on a jog and stopped off at our cute organic market, Olives Community market, to see if I needed anything (I never walk out of that place without at least one awesome something). Low and behold the collards! Staring at me with their intricate veins and deep greenness.

They joined me on my jog home like a sail in the wind.
