Greek Hummus Wrap

*Note - We found it easiest to prepare these one at a time.  The recipe below is for one wrap.

1 large sun-dried tomato wrap

1/4 cup feta cheese

1/4 cup red pepper, diced

1/4 cup cucumber, diced

2-3 leaves of lettuce

4 tablespoon hummus

3-4 kalamata olives, pitted

Directions

1. SPREAD hummus onto flattened wrap.  Spread slightly off-center (it's easier to roll up).
2. SPRINKLE feta cheese, red pepper, cucumber, and olive on hummus.
3. PLACE lettuce leaves on top of hummus and other toppings.
4. ROLL tightly, but do not fold ends in.
5. CUT into small (1") pieces and enjoy!

Southwestern Chicken Salad

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice from one fresh lime

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon oregano

Shredded lettuce

Grape tomatoes

Small red bell pepper

1/2 cup black beans

1/2 cup corn

1 diced avocado

Sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

1. MIX together the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano.  Set aside for roughly 30 minutes.  (For the Love of Cooking suggests using a blender for the dressing...mixing vigorously worked for us though!)
2. ADD tomatoes, avocado, bell pepper, black beans, corn, and cheese to lettuce.
3. TOP with your the cilantro dressing (cilantro lime vinaigrette).  Enjoy!

*Note - We kept everything separate and added individually.  This worked well for us, and made keeping the dressing for leftovers really easy!

Sorry for the pictures - we just had our cell phones!
