Here is a delicious way to serve and enjoy a salad that you can eat
without a fork. Just take all of your salad fixings and place them
on a whole grain wrap, roll it up, and eat it like a sandwich!

1 whole grain wrap (available at most health food stores and some grocery stores)
1/4 ripe avocado
1/4 cup spinach (chopped fine)
1/4 cup sweet red onion (diced)
1/4 cup ripe tomato (diced)
1/4 cup cucumber (diced)
1/4 cup carrot (shredded)
1/8 cup kalamata olives (optional)
1/4 tsp oregano (or your favorite seasoning)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil (or favorite dressing)
Pinch Celtic or Himalayan salt (optional)
Dash cayenne to taste

Prepare all veggies.

Mash avocado and spread in the center of the wrap.

Add remaining ingredients and roll up wrap, tucking in ends as you roll.
You can vary the amounts of each vegetable or add or subtract different
veggies according to individual tastes.
