Recipe Q&A

→ What type of greens work best in these wraps?

Mixed baby greens like arugula, spinach, and baby kale provide a fresh, crisp base that complements the chicken and dressing flavors well.

→ Can I substitute the chicken with another protein?

Yes, rotisserie chicken or grilled turkey make great alternatives, maintaining a high-protein balance and ease of preparation.

→ How can I make the dressing creamier or lighter?

Adjust the Greek yogurt quantity for creaminess, or use plant-based yogurt for a lighter, dairy-free option without compromising flavor.

→ What makes poppy seeds special in this dish?

Poppy seeds add a subtle nutty crunch that enhances the overall texture and imparts a slight earthy sweetness to the dressing.

→ Are there good options to add crunch or extra flavor?

Sunflower seeds or crumbled feta cheese can be sprinkled on top to introduce pleasant crunch and tangy depth to the wrap.
