PREP 5 MINS

SERVES 1 (AS A LIGHT MEAL)

Cook’s Tip -Make an exciting vegetarian salad wrap with crunchy vegetables for texture and a good hit of cheddar cheese. Perfect for packing into a lunchbox.

LOWER-CARB OPTION- Swap the tortilla for a lower-carb wrap such as Woolworths Lower Carb Wholemeal Wrap, and drop the grapes, instead serve with double the strawberries.

1 tortilla or gluten-free tortilla

1 Tbsp hummus

1 lettuce leaf

¼ carrot, shredded or grated

4 Lebanese cucumber sticks

2 slices avocado

2 Tbsp chopped tomatoes

20g reduced-fat grated cheese

7 strawberries, to serve Small bunch (50g) grapes, to serve

1 Place the tortilla out flat on a board. Spread the hummus over the bottom third of the wrap. Put the lettuce on top. Arrange the carrot, cucumber and avocado on top of the lettuce. Spoon the tomato on top and sprinkle on the cheese.

2 Fold the bottom of the wrap up just over the filling, fold the sides in and then roll the wrap the rest of the way up. Cut in half or into pieces as shown. Either put straight into a lunchbox or if halved, wrap in wax paper first.
