Serves: 2 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup cucumber, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients needed for the Mediterranean Greek Chopped Salad Wrap. Make sure you have 2 large whole wheat tortillas, 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup diced cucumber, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup pitted and sliced Kalamata olives, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives. This will create the base of your salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. This dressing will enhance the flavors of your salad.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Take one whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Spoon half of the salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla, ensuring not to overfill it.
- To wrap the tortilla, fold in the sides first, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Repeat this process with the second tortilla and remaining salad mixture.
- Once both wraps are prepared, you can slice them in half diagonally for easier handling and presentation, if desired.
- Serve the Mediterranean Greek Chopped Salad Wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal option. Enjoy your fresh and healthy wraps!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature: Ensure your vegetables are crisp and cold for the best texture and freshness.
- Dressing Technique: Dress the salad just before wrapping to prevent soggy tortillas.
- Tortilla Hack: Slightly warm the tortillas for easier folding and a more pliable wrap.
- Customization: Feel free to add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare salad ingredients separately and assemble just before serving to maintain maximum crunch.
- Storage Tip: If packing for lunch, wrap tightly in foil and keep refrigerated until mealtime.
