Tips
- Get a head start on tomorrow's lunch. Make the chicken salad mix the night before and store in an airtight container. Assemble wraps when ready to eat.
- Make a vegetarian version by replacing the chicken with black beans.
- Ask your little chefs to help you mix all ingredients. Older kids can spread the chicken salad mix onto lettuce leaves.
- There are endless combinations of veggies that would fit perfectly into this wrap. Try shredded carrots, cucumbers or sliced peppers.
