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: In a large bowl, combine the rinsed chickpeas, chopped fresh spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion, mixing them gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Add plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until the mixture forms a creamy, well-incorporated dressing.
- Combine Salad and Dressing: Pour the avocado yogurt dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Place a generous scoop of the dressed salad mixture in the center of each whole wheat tortilla. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up first, then tuck in the sides carefully before rolling the wrap tightly to secure the filling.
- Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easier handling. Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or refrigerate to enjoy later as a chilled, refreshing meal.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute plain yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt.
- You can add a sprinkle of your favorite herbs such as cilantro or parsley for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the dressing.
- Make sure to pat dry the chickpeas well after rinsing to avoid watery wraps.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
