Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.33 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves, and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, diced cucumber, quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced kalamata olives. Toss well to mix the ingredients evenly.
For the tahini dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the mixed vegetables and chicken in the large bowl.
Gently toss the mixture to ensure the dressing coats all ingredients evenly.
Lay each lettuce leaf flat and spoon the Mediterranean filling into the center of each leaf. Aim for an even distribution to allow for 8 full wraps.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the filled lettuce leaves.
Carefully fold each leaf over the filling to form a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean.
