VEGETABLE WRAPS WITH CHICKEN AND HUMMUS

Serves 4
Provides 1½ vegetable servings per person

Wraps are a great choice for your next picnic or springtime outing. They are neat, easy to pack, and your my family will love them. Combine a cup of diced cooked chicken with ½ cup of chopped cucumber, red bell pepper, raw sugar snap peas, and arugula. Stir in a ½ cup of hummus to hold it together. Lay a lettuce leaf on each of the 4 wraps and spread the vegetable mixture, leaving a ½ inch border all around. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, making a neat package-no loose ends with this snack. This healthful treat provides 1 ½ servings of vegetables for each person.

1 cup diced cooked chicken
½ cup chopped cucumber
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup chopped raw sugar snap peas
½ cup chopped arugula
½ cup hummus
4 wraps or flour tortillas
4 lettuce leaves (leaf or butter lettuce works best)


1. Combine the chicken, cucumber, bell pepper, peas, arugula, and hummus in a bowl. (You can add different vegetables according to the season and your family's preferences.)
 
2. Lay the wraps on the counter and cover each with a lettuce leaf. Divide the vegetable mixture among them and spread, leaving at least a half-inch border around the edge. Roll up tightly, tucking in the edges as you roll. Cut in half and wrap in plastic food film.
