Ingredients

  • 8 iceberg lettuce
  • 1 tablespoon homemade mayo
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 3 Prosciutto slices
  • 2 slices of deli meat - organic ham
  • 3 slices of deli meat - organic chicken breast
  • 5 slices cucumber
  • 8 cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1 piece of parchment paper about 15″ x 15″

Instructions

  • On a cutting board, place the parchment paper. Layer 5 to 8 lettuce leaves (or any other green leave you prefer) in the middle of parchment paper and the sides of the lettuce leaves should be on top of each other leaving no space between the lettuces. Layer the topping by spreading first the mustard and mayo.

  • Halfway through rolling, fold the edges of the wraps towards the center, and continue rolling like a burrito. When it is completely wrapped, roll the remainder of the parchment around the lettuce.

Notes

  • To keep a mess from forming, place a piece of parchment underneath the lettuce when you roll it. 
  • If you're not a fan of iceberg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, Boston lettuce, or green leaf.
  • Always wash your lettuce before using and make sure to dry fully so it doesn't get soggy.
  • To store: This wrap is best eaten as soon as possible. I would only store it for a day or so.
