About Cobb salad wrap

The Cobb Salad Wrap is a modern twist on the classic Cobb salad, originating in the United States in the 1930s. Typically wrapped in a whole-grain tortilla, it incorporates diced chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and sometimes blue cheese, making it a handheld version of the nutrient-rich salad. This wrap offers a balanced nutritional profile, including high-quality protein, healthy fats, and dietary fiber, while also supplying essential vitamins such as vitamin K, vitamin A, and minerals like potassium and calcium. Its versatility makes it a popular choice across different cuisines, particularly in American casual dining settings.

Health Benefits

• Rich in protein from chicken and eggs, which supports muscle repair and immune function.
• Contains heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from avocado, known to improve cholesterol levels.
• Provides vitamin K from lettuce and leafy greens, which helps maintain bone health and supports blood clotting.
• Offers antioxidants like vitamin A and lycopene from tomatoes, aiding in eye health and reducing oxidative stress.
• Includes potassium from avocado and tomatoes, important for maintaining healthy blood pressure and electrolyte balance.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains egg, dairy (blue cheese), gluten (if using non-gluten-free tortilla), soy (possible cross-contamination in bacon or cheese)

Suitable for: High-protein diet, gluten-free (with certified gf wrap), low-carb (with lettuce wrap)

Not suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, low-fat diet

Selection and Storage

Store the wrap in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing, as the fresh vegetables may lose texture.
