    It's a wrap!

    I've been making and eating veggie wraps most of my life. In fact, I think I prefer them to sandwiches because they're tidier and easier to eat. All the ingredients are neatly swaddled inside a nice soft tortilla, rice paper wrap, or, if you're counting carbs or calories, you can just use a big lettuce leaf.

    What does "eating the Rainbow" Mean?

    One of the many things I LOVE SO MUCH about being vegan is enjoying the beautiful colors of the fruits and veggies I eat every day. Our plates look like painters palettes. Vibrant greens of every shade, brilliant tomato and pepper reds, deep eggplant purples, bright lemony yellows, radiant oranges, berry blues.

    Take a look at the astounding array of colors when you visit a farmers market or the produce department in your neighborhood grocery store. The beautiful hues contained in all of those gorgeous fruits and veggies are the nutrients of life. When you hear your doctor suggest that you “Eat the rainbow”, that means that you should create a colorful, multi-hued plate for yourself at every meal. By doing so, you are ensuring that you are consuming a variety of healthy, nutrient-filled foods. You might like to take a look at this pamphlet by The American Heart Association about “Eating the Rainbow”.

    How to make rainbow veggie wraps

    There's no end to this rainbow of earthly delights. I love using a variety of crisp fresh veggies, sprouts, leafy greens, hummus or herbed vegan cheese spreads. Depending on your event theme, you can coordinate your colors by choosing colorful sun-dried tomato or spinach tortillas or broad-leaf lettuces or red cabbage for wraps. You can make a simple traditional wrap by trimming the veggies even with the tortillas, or a sushi style wrap with parchment and string. Have fun with it, get creative!

    First things first

    Select a variety of colorful, crisp, veggies that can be sliced into long thin strips. Carrots, celery, cucumber, jicama, bell peppers, red cabbage - whatever you like! You can also add leafy greens, like spinach or radicchio. Keep it colorful - like the rainbow.

    Find the softest, freshest tortillas. If they're even slightly dry or stale, your wraps will fall apart. For these rainbow wraps, I used spinach tortillas, which you can find in many grocery stores.

    For the spread, use your favorite vegan herb cream cheese. If you don't have a favorite, you can easily make your own chive or herb cream cheese, simply by mixing in finely minced fresh herbs or spices with a plain cream cheese of your choice. I usually add a pinch of sea salt too.

    How to assemble veggie wraps

    • Wash veggies. Peel (if necessary - carrots, cucumbers) and remove seeds. Slice veggies lengthwise into long thin strips.
    • Place tortillas on a flat dry surface.
    • Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on tortilla, about 1" from edge.
    • Arrange veggie strips across tortilla, leaving about 1" of cream cheese exposed.
    • Roll up tortilla snugly
    • Cut wrap into 3" pieces.
    • Arrange on a platter or cutting board.

    🥕 NOTE You can prepare these an hour or two in advance. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

    I love the look of this sushi-style wrap. Simply pre-cut your veggies into 5-6" inch strips, the tortillas into 3-4" strips and parchment paper in 2" strips. Add a small amount of cream cheese to one side of the tortilla strip. Arrange the veggies, one strip at a time across the tortilla. Roll up tightly. Wrap with parchment and tie to secure with a piece of jute or hemp string. Use a sharp knife to trim the veggies even. I paired these wraps with my creamy delish Vegan Avocado Basil Dressing, using a cabbage leaf as a bowl. Oh that color! 🌱
