Ingredients
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 Ingredients
- 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 mixture: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed and drained chickpeas with chopped spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Toss gently to mix the vegetables evenly with the chickpeas.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth and creamy. Add the plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly until the dressing is well combined and smooth.
- Toss the salad with dressing: Pour the avocado-yogurt dressing over the salad mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure every component is coated 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 edge up first, then tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form secure wraps.
- Serve or store: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easier handling. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate wrapped in foil or plastic wrap to enjoy later.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider adding sliced radishes or shredded carrots to the salad.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for plain yogurt to increase protein content and creaminess.
- For a vegan version, replace yogurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
- These wraps are best consumed within 24 hours when refrigerated to maintain freshness.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber, but you may use gluten-free tortillas if needed.
