Veggie Wraps with Hummus

Veggie Wraps with Hummus are a refreshing and flavorful take on the classic veggie wrap found at delis and cafes. In this reinvented recipe, we have transformed the typical lackluster veggie wrap into a vibrant and satisfying lunch option. With a burst of fresh vegetables, zesty lemon-parsley dressing, and creamy hummus, these wraps are a delightful blend of textures and flavors. By using lavash, a thin and soft Middle Eastern flatbread, as the wrap, we ensure a light and tasty meal. Whether you’re a vegetarian looking for a scrumptious lunch or simply craving a nutritious and balanced meal, these Veggie Wraps with Hummus will not disappoint.

SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons juice
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
• 4 radishes, trimmed, halved, and sliced thin
• 4 pieces lavash bread
• 1⅓ cups plain hummus
• 2 tomatoes, cored and sliced thin
• 2 avocados, halved, pitted, and sliced thin
• 4 ounces alfalfa sprouts

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. MAKE THE LEMON-PARSLEY DRESSING: In a bowl, whisk together minced parsley, grated lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Add the shredded carrots and sliced radishes to the bowl and toss them in the dressing until well coated.
2. PREPARE THE LAVASH BREAD: Lay the lavash bread on a clean counter or cutting board. Spread approximately ⅓ cup of plain hummus over each piece of lavash, ensuring an even layer.
3. ASSEMBLE THE WRAPS: Divide the sliced tomatoes, avocado slices, and alfalfa sprouts evenly among the lavash pieces. Then, add the dressed carrot and radish mixture to each lavash.
4. ROLL INTO WRAPS: To assemble the wraps, fold the sides of the lavash over the filling. Then, fold the bottom of the lavash over the sides and filling. Finally, roll the lavash tightly into a wrap to secure the ingredients.
5. SLICE AND SERVE: Once the wraps are tightly rolled, slice them in half and serve immediately. These Veggie Wraps with Hummus are perfect for a light and healthy lunch or a quick and flavorful meal on the go. Enjoy the burst of fresh flavors and creamy hummus in every bite.

TIPS

• Fresh and Vibrant Veggies: Opt for fresh and crisp vegetables for the wrap. Choose firm and colorful radishes, sweet shredded carrots, juicy tomatoes, and creamy avocados. Using vibrant and fresh veggies will elevate the overall taste and appearance of the wraps.
• Emulsified Dressing: When whisking the lemon-parsley dressing, drizzle the olive oil slowly while continuously whisking to achieve an emulsified dressing. This will ensure that the oil is evenly incorporated into the dressing, resulting in a harmonious and well-balanced flavor.
• Creamy and Flavorful Hummus: Use either store-bought hummus or our Classic Hummus recipe for the wraps. Creamy and flavorful hummus will serve as a delicious base for the veggies and add a creamy texture to the wraps.
• Wrap It Tightly: When assembling the wraps, fold the sides of the lavash over the filling, then fold the bottom of the lavash over the sides and filling before rolling it tightly into a wrap. This will help prevent the filling from falling out and create a neat and secure wrap.
