Raw Veggie Salad Wraps





Makes 4

4 homemade wraps or cheelas (or store bought wraps)

3 leaves of lettuce
4 leaves bokchoy/pakchoi
(any combination of green leafy vegetables is fine, or only one type)
A bunch of parsley
4-5 tomatoes
1 large cucumber
½ carrot
1 small beet
1 small piece of pumpkin
2 okras
½ zucchini
¼ red onion (optional)
¼ cup canned corn (optional)
2 pimento peppers
½ bell pepper
Slices of avocado
1 batch of hummus and/or babaganoush to make it more “Eastern style”


Choose any selection of toppings and dressings you desire!



Toppings:
Chia seeds
Sunflower seeds
Sesame seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Goji berries
Sweet basil or mint leaves chopped


Dressings:
Agave nectar
Cashew cheese
Avocado dressing
Tahini


Method:

Prepare your hummus and cashew cheeze.
Also prepare your wraps or purchase your favourite kind.

Wash and prepare the vegetables:

Chop the lettuce, bokchoy/pakchoi, parsley and dry off excess water.

Slice the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds and then slice thinly into half circles.

Finely dice onion.

Slice cucumber in circles or half circles, you can remove the seeds since they don’t digest, if desired.

Slice okra in circles.

Cut pimento in half and remove the seeds and slice . Do the same for bell pepper.

Peel and grate the beet, zucchini, pumpkin and carrot.

Neatly arrange every vegetable in a large platter.

Drain the can of corn.


To prepare:

Spread the wrap on a large flat dinner plate. Start with the hummus and spread it to the bottom of the circle. Next to that more towards the middle of the wrap place the cashew cheeze and spread (or put it as a topping over the veggies).

Start to build the vegetables on top of the hummus, starting with two handfuls of the greens and peppers, then follow with about 6 pieces each of the tomatoes and cucumber. Cover with the beet,pumpkin, zucchini and carrot and add the corn along the side of this mound.

Sprinkle on the toppings of nuts and seeds.

Lightly press everything down and pull up the bottom flap of the circle and enclose the mound of veggies. Basically, fold over the wrap onto the veggies and tuck in firmly, bringing in the sides. Then roll again and firmly close it. Avoid wet salad dressings as the will disintegrate the wrap.

Wraps are great Womb Friendly and weight loss meals, I full-joy them weekly. 






Blessed Love!
