Tossed Salad Wraps

A basic tossed salad is transformed into a crunchy sandwich by wrapping it up. This is especially good with soups.

Serves: 4

• 3  or so cups thinly shredded lettuce (any tender variety—
  try butterhead or bibb)
• 2 medium firm, ripe tomatoes, finely diced
• 1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes or olives of your choice
• 1/4 cup natural vegan dressing of your choice (French Thousand Island,
  or a tahini-flavored dressing are good)
• Four 10-inch wraps or burrito-sized flour tortillas

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss together.

Divide the salad among the 4 wraps, distributing it evenly over the entire surface, leaving approximately 2 inches empty at one side of each wrap. Roll up snugly. Cut each half  and eat out of hand.

Variations:

Add other thinly sliced or grated salad vegetables (carrots, turnips, radishes, etc.) and fresh herbs as desired.

If you’re not serving these with a protein dish, add chickpeas or other beans, or thinly sliced strips of baked tofu to make these wraps more substantial.
