It dawned on me the other day that I’ve shared many salads but have never talked about bundling all the fresh veggies into a compact food to be held in your hand. Wraps and rolls are very popular. My sister loves rolls made with rice paper as in spring Vietnamese vegetable rolls. Others like me love using flour tortillas or pitas to wrap all kinds of great taste.
Today I’m sharing a hummus spring vegetable wrap with several options on how to wrap it. If you are looking for gluten-free, use the rice paper, or corn tortilla to roll up your goodies. For grain-free, use romaine lettuce leaves, cabbage leaf or even a collard leaf to hold it all together. If you wish to try a collard wrap, first remove the large rib and cut collard leaf in half. Overlap the two cut sides and fill with your veggies. This is a vegan vegetable wrap with vegetarian options. It’s a great addition to your meatless meals and can be adapted to what is currently in the market. You can easily replace ingredients with your choice of vegetables. Mix them up with yummy hummus flavors and your favorite seasonings or try it with a herb dip. For egg lovers, add egg to the vegetables.
For spring I’m using hummus, spring greens, tomato, avocado, shredded carrot & cucumber, and a drizzle of vinaigrette all wrapped up in an extra roomy flour tortilla. Leafy greens are a super food that we all need to eat more of. I prefer spinach or beet tortilla for extra flavor and nutrition but a good whole wheat wrap works great too. Vegetarian options include the addition of shredded cheese or scrambled egg but for vegans there are some tasty substitutes for those too. Add seasoned rice or quinoa for a more filling wrap. They’re great to make for multiple lunches or parties, as they are easy to make, portable and require no immediate refrigeration.

I like wraps but seeing this now reminded me it will be an especially good lunch for Rick after his surgery when he has to be flat down — easy to eat, he could probably get away with a bib instead of a plate if need be! And healthy too.
Yes it is entirely portable – I hope his recovery is going well. Have a great week!
Wow, these look and sound amazing! So colourful and full of goodness! I have never thought of putting avocado in a wrap, thanks for the tip. #MMBC
Yum! We love wraps in our house. You have given me some good ideas here. Thank you!
These all look delicious! My girls aren’t keen on salad unless it’s in a wrap. Then they love it x
Looks delicious and ingredients sound healthy. Will pin and make as soon as I have ingredients on hand.
Those look really tasty. I’m never really sure what to put in a wrap but now you’ve given me lots of inspiration. I may even try one for lunch tomorrow.
It makes me so happy when I inspire someone – thanks!
It makes for something like a salad in your hand. Has someone said “yummy” yet?
Yummy!
I like my veggies in wraps/rolls. And these look great!
I think I’ll come back for some ideas.
I love wraps, they are so fast to make, especially for breakfast, and delicious. I would keep my wraps vegan and, of course, I would use hummus as a base. I like your green wrap, that looks so different and yum.
You can vary the type of hummus for great new flavors.
The wraps look yummy – must try some soon – thanks for sharing.
These look delicious! I have been having wraps and hummus lately but this inspires me to add a few more ingredients.
thanks for the visit – happy Wednesday!
Those look delicious! I have been looking for lighter “sandwich” ideas to add to my lunch menu rotations. Pinned.
thanks for the pin!

Ooh yum, this looks so tasty! I love avocado, and hummus too. Getting hungry now! X #MMBC
Hi Carol, I do enjoy a nice wrap, but am hopeless at making one that doesn’t fall apart. I do like the sound ofusing hummus in a wrap. Not something I have thought of even though I live in Greece ?.
This looks delicious! It’s salad in a wrap and I love this idea. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
This looks fantastic! I’ve been wanting to find a way to add more veggies to my lunches, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of this. Now I need to head to the store to grab some wraps for my lunch! Thanks for sharing at Sweet Inspiration!
Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party! Hope you come again next week.
Congrats Carol! Your post is FEATURED at the #WednesdayAIMLinkParty 35! Party starts tonight, Wed, Apr-17-2019 at 9:00 PM CST.
