Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup poppy seed dressing
- 1 cup grapes, halved
- 1 apple, diced
- 6 large lettuce leaves
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1/2 cup of poppy seed dressing, 1 cup of halved grapes, 1 diced apple, 6 large lettuce leaves, and salt to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and poppy seed dressing. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Add the halved grapes and diced apple to the chicken mixture. Gently fold the fruits into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking the grapes or apples.
- Taste the mixture and add salt as needed. Mix again to incorporate the seasoning.
- Prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing them under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen cloth.
- Lay out the lettuce leaves on a clean surface or plate. Spoon an even amount of the chicken and fruit mixture onto each leaf, ensuring not to overfill them.
- Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling and then roll them up from the bottom to create a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- Serve the wraps immediately, or refrigerate them for up to 30 minutes to chill before serving. Enjoy your Poppy Seed Chicken Fruit Salad Wraps as a refreshing meal or snack!
Tips
- Chicken Prep: Use rotisserie chicken for an even quicker and more flavorful base, or grill and shred your own for a personal touch.
- Fruit Freshness: Choose crisp, ripe fruits that are at peak season for the most vibrant flavor and texture.
- Lettuce Hack: Use sturdy lettuce leaves like butter lettuce or romaine for the best wrap structure.
- Dressing Tip: If you want extra flavor, mix a bit of Greek yogurt into the poppy seed dressing for added creaminess.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the chicken mixture in advance and keep it refrigerated. Assemble the wraps just before serving to maintain the lettuce's crispness.
- Customization: Feel free to add nuts like sliced almonds or chopped walnuts for extra crunch and protein.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light soup for a complete, refreshing meal.
