Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 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
Wraps
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas, chopped fresh spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Mix them gently to combine.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth using a fork or a whisk. Add the plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mix thoroughly until the dressing is creamy and well blended.
- Toss the Salad with Dressing: Pour the avocado yogurt dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the vegetables and chickpeas evenly with the dressing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each whole wheat tortilla and place a generous scoop of the dressed salad mixture in the center. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate to enjoy later.
Notes
- For extra protein, add some grilled chicken or tofu.
- You can substitute plain yogurt with a dairy-free alternative to make it vegan.
- Use gluten-free tortillas if you want a gluten-free option.
- Chill the wraps before serving for a crispier texture.
- Adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
