Terri’s Tips:
If you like chef salads: add cheese, eggs, and bacon. Or if you like salad with grilled chicken or shrimp, add to the wrap. Sliced turkey or ham works well too. I love avocados.
Cooking Wiser:
Try sun-dried tomato wraps or for a healthier version try whole wheat wraps.
Use low fat or fat free cream cheese and olive oil and red wine vinegar to sprinkle over salad greens
Adding sliced hard boiled eggs or low fat roasted turkey will provide protein. Be selective when choosing deli meats. Avoid those high in salt and fat.
