Mediterranean Veggie Wrap


 
Even though I have healthy habits, I still have a hard time eating mountains of raw vegetables. By themselves, they're just not that enticing. But when they come wrapped up in a cute little package they seem much more appealing. A creamy layer of hummus and crumbles of tangy feta impart richness to this veggie medley. If you want to go all out drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the whole shebang. That's one fancy sandwich!

These same ingredients would make an awesome panini. Something about grilling your wrap/sandwich makes it even more satisfying. Hot off the press the outside is crisp, the vegetables crunch, and the melted cheese comes oozing out.

INGREDIENTS
whole wheat wrap or tortilla
hummus
baby spinach
red bell pepper, sliced (or you could try roasted red peppers)
cucumber, sliced
tomatoes, chopped
red onion, thinly sliced
kalamata olives, halved
feta, crumbled
sprouts (optional)
balsamic vinaigrette (optional)

DIRECTIONS
1. Spread hummus over the wrap. Place baby spinach on top of the hummus and then layer red peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and olives. Top with feta and sprouts (optional). Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette (optional). Fold the sides in and tightly roll up with wrap.

2. To grill, preheat panini press. Place on the press and cook until grill marks form and the cheese is beginning to melt. Serve hot.
