Ingredients
Scale
Salad:
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cucumber, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap:
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Combine the Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rinsed and drained chickpeas, chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. This will form the fresh vegetable base of your wrap.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a separate bowl, mash a ripe avocado until smooth. Add plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; then mix until you achieve a creamy, well-blended dressing that adds richness and tang.
- Toss Salad with Dressing: Pour the avocado-yogurt dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly without crushing the veggies.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place a generous scoop of the dressed salad in the center of each whole wheat tortilla. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling first, then tuck in the sides and roll tightly to secure all ingredients inside.
- Serve or Store: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easier eating. Serve immediately for fresh taste or refrigerate for later use, ensuring they remain firm and flavorful.
Notes
- For a vegan option, substitute plain yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
- You can add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to enhance flavor.
- To add more protein, consider incorporating some grilled chicken or tofu.
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you need a gluten-free meal.
- These wraps taste best fresh but can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to avoid sogginess.
