Today I'm happy to share one of my go-to lunches - the ever-so-delicious Greek Salad Wrap with Hummus.
This is one of those meals that's not just incredibly tasty, but also packed full of fresh, vibrant ingredients that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.
Now, I'll be honest with you, I have a bit of a love affair with Greek cuisine.
There's something about the simple yet flavorful combination of olives, feta, crunchy veggies, and that tangy, creamy hummus that makes my heart sing. And when you wrap it all up in a soft, wrap, well, that's what I call lunchtime bliss.
Trust me, once you've tried these Greek Salad Wraps with Hummus, they'll become a regular feature in your lunchtime rotation. Let's get started!
Ingredients
- Chickpeas: If you're out of chickpeas, white beans make a great substitute.
- Grape Tomatoes: Feel free to swap them with cherry tomatoes or diced regular tomatoes if that's what you have on hand.
- Pitted Kalamata Olives: No kalamata olives? No problem! Black olives can also do the trick.
- Red Onion: If you're looking to switch things up, try using pickled red onions for an extra zing!
- Feta Cheese: For a dairy-free option, vegan feta is a fantastic alternative.
- Chopped Lettuce: Feel free to use any type of lettuce you prefer, from romaine to iceberg, depending on what you have in your fridge.
- Hummus: Creamy hummus binds all the ingredients together with its smooth, rich texture. Any flavor works, so feel free to experiment with what you like best!
- Large Tortillas: They're the cozy blanket that wraps up all our tasty ingredients. Gluten-free tortillas are an excellent option for those with dietary restrictions.
Red Wine Vinegar Dressing Ingredients
- Red Wine Vinegar & Fresh Lemon Juice: This duo lays the foundation of our dressing, offering a bright, tangy kick. Apple cider vinegar can be a good substitute if needed.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Brings everything together with its fruity, peppery notes. Avocado oil is a great alternative for a milder taste.
- Minced Garlic: Adds a punch of flavor that really makes this dressing sing. Garlic powder can be used in a pinch!
- Fresh Oregano: This herb infuses our dressing with classic Mediterranean aromas. Dried oregano works beautifully too, just remember it's more potent.
- Salt: Just a pinch to enhance all the flavors.
Tips & Tricks
- Get Creative with Hummus: There's a world of hummus flavors out there, so don't be afraid to experiment. Roasted red pepper, garlic, or even lemon hummus can add a delightful twist to your Greek salad wrap. My personal favorite is roasted red pepper hummus - it gives the wrap a nice kick!
- Cheese Please: Feta cheese is a classic ingredient in Greek salad, but you could also try using halloumi or even mozzarella. Just remember to crumble or slice it thinly so it distributes evenly throughout the wrap.
- Roll it Right: Rolling a wrap can be tricky, but here's a little trick: arrange your ingredients in a line down the center of the wrap, leaving a bit of space at the bottom. Fold in the sides, then roll up from the bottom. You'll have a neat, tight wrap that's ready to devour.
- Mix it Up: Feel free to mix and match ingredients based on what's in season or what you have on hand. Grilled chicken, roasted veggies, or even some crispy bacon would all be delicious additions.
- The Perfect Mash: When it comes to mashing those chickpeas, think rustic charm over baby food smoothness. A potato masher does the job brilliantly, leaving chunky bits for texture.
- Tomato Tidbit: Love grape tomatoes but hate chasing them across the cutting board? Try this neat trick: Place them between two lids from plastic containers and slice through them all at once with a sharp knife. Voilà, you've just halved your prep time!
- Olive Ovation: If you're anything like me and find pitting olives a tad tedious, grab a bottle of Kalamata olives that are already pitted. Your sanity (and fingertips) will thank you.
- Onion Hack: Dicing onions usually ends in a tearful disaster, right? Pop them in the freezer for about 15 minutes before chopping. It reduces the tear-inducing vapors, saving your makeup and your mood.
