Yummy Veggie Wrap

This is is a yummy and filling healthy wrap! I like to have this with a cup of Amy's brand tomato bisque.


Lavash
Hummus
Roasted Red Peppers
Portobella Mushrooms sliced
Onions sliced
Zuchinni-sliced
Olive Oil
Fresh Basil Leaves
Sea Salt and Pepper
Feta Cheese(optional)

Preheat Oven 350. Toss sliced mushrooms, onion and zuchinni with olive oil and salt and pepper. Place the veggies on a baking sheet in one layer. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until tender.
While veggies are roasting take the hummus and spread it onto the the lavash. Put a few basil leaves on top. Once the veggies are finished put the roasted veggies on top of the hummus and basil. Roll up and serve. If you like feta it is good to sprinkle a little on top before you roll it up!

Enjoy

Chickpea Salad

This is one of my favorites! I could eat this all the time!!!

1 15 oz can of chickpeas
1 red pepper chopped
1 can of black olives sliced
1 carrot peeled and chopped
1/2 english cucumber chopped
1/2 container of grape tomatoes
1 cup of cooked Israeli Couscous
1/2 cup of Feta (leave out for vegan recipe)
Juice of 2 lemons
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
Fresh chopped parsley
Sea Salt and Pepper

Following the cooking instructions on the couscous box. Cook and let it cool.
While the couscous is cooling chop the red pepper, cucumber and carrots. Slice the black olive and cut the grape tomatoes in half. In a bowl juice the lemons and set aside.

Once the couscous has cooled mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss with the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and feta cheese. Taste to see if you need any additional oil, lemon or seasoning.

Refridgerate and serve cold.

I like to take this for lunches. I make a big batch on Sunday and take it for lunch all week.
