Tips:

This recipe makes enough for six small child-sized portions (half a wrap each) or three adult-sized portions (1 wrap each).

Try including other salad vegetables such as:

  • grated carrot
  • coleslaw
  • spinach
  • sliced tomato
  • avocado.

Instead of a wrap, you could use wholemeal pita bread, wholegrain bread or a wholegrain roll.
