BENEFITS OF VEGETABLES

• ZUCCHINI: An excellent source of vitamin A, and vitamin C and a good source of manganese. It helps to boost immunity and fight infection.
• CHERRY TOMATOES: Excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A and vitamin K. Tomatoes can help to reduce inflammation and promote heart health.
• AVOCADO: These are a good source of fiber, folate, and vitamin K. Avocados promote heart health, lower cholesterol, aid in digestion and promote glowing skin. Avocados include a variety of nutrients and are an excellent source of healthy fats.
• CARROTS: An excellent source of vitamin A, and a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber. Carrots help to improve eye health, boost immunity and aid in digestion.
• RED ONION: A good source of vitamin C. Onions can help boost immunity and promote heart health.
• MESCLUN GREENS: This is a type of salad mix that includes a variety of different types of lettuce leaves. They are high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate.
• HUMMUS: Hummus is made from chickpeas, which are an excellent source of fiber and folate. They’re also a good source of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein. About 1/2 cup of chickpeas contains 7 grams of protein! Chickpeas help to support satiety (that “full and satisfied” feeling after a meal), they can help with weight loss, aid in digestion, and can help to regulate blood sugar levels.

HOW TO MAKE THE ZUCCHINI HUMMUS VEGGIE WRAP

To make this wrap, you’ll be grilling zucchini and then topping it with delicious raw vegetables like carrots, avocado, tomatoes, and onion. What makes the wrap super tasty is the hummus – so don’t skip this step! And feel free to add as much as you like. It adds so much flavor to this tasty lunch.

You do not need a fancy grill to make this wrap. I just used my cast-iron frying pan. And you can change up the veggies depending on what you have in your fridge. Feel free to experiment and customize according to your own personal tastes.

To make this wrap I used homemade hummus, but you can also use a store-bought version to save yourself some time. Hummus is a very versatile dip to have on hand in your fridge. You can use it for so many things – as a snack with sliced raw veggies, in a wrap like this recipe, or add a big dollop to the top of a salad you’re making. It’s so yum and so good for you.

Alright, enough talking, let’s get to the tasty recipe, shall we!?
