We try not to warm up the house in the heat of summer by turning on the oven. But the same old cold lunch — especially sandwiches — gets boring quickly.
One of my family's favorite ways to mix things up is by making wraps.
Our favorite is a strawberry chicken salad wrap. I love how versatile it is — you can use red or green onion (my kids LOVE the onion on it!) and any leafy greens you have in the fridge, like lettuce, arugula, or kale. We've even used sprouts.
You can also use whatever cheese you'd like but I find creamy goat cheese the perfect flavor to complement the sweetness of the strawberries and the peppery arugula.
The one non-negotiable ingredient: Strawberries!
Strawberry Chicken Salad Wrap
- Spinach wrap (or try plain, tomato, etc)
- Chicken (leftover, precooked, or freshly cooked)
- Arugula, shredded
- Strawberries, sliced
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Balsamic vinegar
- Goat cheese
Layer the ingredients on the tortilla, wrap it up, and enjoy!
I frequently skip the wrap, and make this a salad instead — it's delicious that way too!
