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
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rinsed chickpeas, chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss these fresh ingredients gently to mix.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Stir in the plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until the dressing is creamy and well combined.
- Dress the Salad: Pour the avocado yogurt dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the flavorful dressing.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out each whole wheat tortilla flat. Spoon a generous portion of the dressed salad into the center. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up first, then tuck in the sides before rolling the wrap tightly to seal the filling.
- Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serve immediately, or refrigerate the wraps for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the plain yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- You can add extra protein like grilled chicken or tofu for a heartier meal.
- Wraps are best consumed within 24 hours for freshness.
- Be gentle when tossing the salad after adding the dressing to avoid mashing the avocado too much.
- For added crunch, consider adding toasted nuts or seeds.
