Zesty Mayo-Laced Rainbow Veggie Wrap: A Refreshing and Colorful Meal in One!

Ingredients:

• 1 large whole wheat wrap (or gluten-free wrap, if desired)
• 2 large handfuls of baby spinach leaves
• 1 medium-sized red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 medium-sized orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 small bunch of broccoli florets
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small yellow squash, thinly sliced
• 1 medium-sized cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas (or any other bean of your choice)
• 2 large slices of avocado
• 1/4 cup zesty mayo
• Fresh lemon juice, to taste
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Zesty Mayo:

• 1/2 cup vegan mayo (or regular mayo, if desired)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. First, let’s make the zesty mayo. In a bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dill, parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
2. Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. To prepare the vegetables for the wrap, you’ll want them to be ready to go. Thinly slice peppers, red onion, yellow squash, and cucumber. Shred the carrots if you don’t have them pre-shredded.
4. Steam the broccoli florets for about 3-4 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside to cool briefly.
5. Place the whole wheat wrap on a flat surface.
6. Spread the zesty mayo evenly over the wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Start layering the vegetables on top of the mayo. Begin with the baby spinach leaves, top with the red and orange bell peppers, chickpeas, broccoli florets, red onion, yellow squash, cucumber, and shredded carrots. Nestle the avocado slices into the wrap.
8. Carefully roll the wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to keep the ingredients secure.
9. Slice the wrap in half if desired, and serve with extra zesty mayo on the side.
