What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1To prevent a soggy wrap, ensure your vegetables are dry. Pat sliced cucumbers with a paper towel and always deseed tomatoes.
- 2Don't overfill the wrap. It's tempting to add more, but it will make rolling difficult and the wrap may fall apart.
- 3For meal prep, store the chopped vegetables, hummus, and feta in separate airtight containers. Assemble the wrap just before eating to maintain freshness and crunch.
- 4A squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the vegetables before rolling can add a bright, zesty flavor that complements the hummus.
- 5Use a flavored hummus like roasted red pepper or garlic for an extra layer of flavor without any extra work.
