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
Wraps
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine rinsed and drained chickpeas, chopped fresh spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Mix gently to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Add plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined to form a creamy dressing.
- Toss salad with dressing: Pour the avocado-yogurt dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat all the salad components evenly with the dressing without breaking the vegetables.
- Assemble the wraps: Place a generous scoop of the dressed salad in the center of each whole wheat tortilla. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, tuck in the sides, and then roll tightly to form a wrap.
- Serve or store: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier eating. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness, or refrigerate the wraps for later consumption within 1-2 days.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for a smooth and creamy dressing texture.
- For a vegan option, substitute plain yogurt with a plant-based alternative.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
- Wraps can be prepared a few hours in advance but are best enjoyed fresh to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
- Adjust salt and lemon juice in the dressing according to your taste preference.
