Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
Filling
- 2 cups smoked salmon, flaked
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup croutons, crushed (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the lettuce leaves: Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a flat surface, ensuring they are clean and thoroughly dried to prevent sogginess when assembled.
- Mix the salmon filling: In a medium bowl, combine the flaked smoked salmon with 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing, tossing gently until the salmon is evenly coated for a creamy, smoky flavor.
- Dress the lettuce bases: Spread a small amount of Caesar dressing on each lettuce leaf to create a flavorful base layer for the fillings.
- Assemble the wraps: Spoon the smoky salmon mixture evenly onto each dressed lettuce leaf, forming the main filling for the wraps.
- Add toppings: Top each salmon-filled lettuce leaf with halved cherry tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, grated parmesan cheese, and sprinkle crushed croutons if using to add texture and extra flavor.
- Garnish and serve: Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley. Serve the wraps immediately to enjoy their fresh, crisp textures and vibrant flavors.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, omit the croutons or substitute with gluten-free croutons.
- Use low-fat Caesar dressing to reduce calories and fat content.
- These wraps are best consumed fresh to maintain the crispness of the lettuce.
- For extra zest, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
