I admit it, I like to meal prep. It keeps me focused on my health & fitness goals plus cooking to me is therapeutic. Food shopping, reading labels and creating new and delicious recipes is my jam! (food geek! lol!) Every week I take the time to think of what will be my lunch that week (along with dinner for the family) Salads & soups are my go-to but this week I was craving a wrap!
While I am still working on mastering the art of rolling a wrap, these vegan chickpea wraps held up pretty well with all the goodies I added in! We are looking at mashed chickpeas, chopped apples, dried cherries, pecans or walnuts and let’s not forget the veggies! Chopped carrots. onions and celery.
Meal Prep Tip:
Look for the precut mirepoix blend – then all you have to do is open and add to the mixture!
Tahini is Dreamy!
While most traditional salad recipes call for mayo we are going with a sweet tahini dressing to compliment the fruitiness in here. All you need for the tahini dressing is;
Tahini (duh! lol!)
Maple Syrup
Lemon Juice
Honey Mustard
Garlic Powder, S&P
Spinach leaves were added to the wrap before filling it with the goodness you are about to experience. This makes a big batch so feel free to share or not and enjoy it all week! I paired my wrap with roasted purple potatoes.
You can totally skip the wrap and have the salad over mixed greens or as a snack with crackers (I love Simple Mills) Feel free to mix up the fruit maybe try pears with raisins or another nut instead pecans or walnuts. Have fun with it!
