Description
Superfoods are nutrient dense foods that we should all be adding more of to our diets. So, rather than focus on what needs to be taken away, let’s focus on all the healthy foods we can add to our meals this year. My Vegetarian Superfood Wraps are packed with all my favorite superfood ingredients, including: avocado, kale, quinoa, dates and sunflower seeds. Prepare the filling ahead of time and make a fresh wrap each morning for a healthy lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4-6 large wraps
- 1 1/4 cups cooked quinoa
- 2 cups chopped curly kale leaves, I like to chop into really small pieces
- 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup chopped medjool dates
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, or sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1-2 cups hummus, plain or flavored (I used about 1/4 cup on each wrap)
- 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper
Dressing
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or less you want it a little more mild
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup, or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon tamari, or soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add all dressing ingredients to a jar, or bowl, and whisk until completely combined. Give the dressing a quick taste and add extra seasonings, if needed. Set dressing aside until ready to use.
- To a large bowl, add the cooked quinoa, chopped kale, chickpeas, red onion, sunflower seeds and chopped dates. Pour the dressing in and mix until salad ingredients are well coated.
- Assemble the wraps. I like to heat my wrap up for a few seconds before assembling, just so it folds easily without breaking. Lay the wrap on a flat surface and spread about 1/4 cup of hummus into the middle of the wrap. Top hummus with a few slices of avocado and season with salt and pepper, and then about 1 cup of the quinoa kale mixture.
- Carefully fold the sides of the wrap in and then roll up as tightly as you can. You can then place the wrap, seam side down, in a hot pan for a minute to seal the bottom of the wrap, if desired. Cut wrap in half and enjoy.
