Another simple lunch idea that has helped me keep my New Year’s resolution to tote my little lunch bag to work every day. Taking my lunch has been surprisingly easy to do– especially when I have something like this wrap to look forward to at noon.
Who wouldn’t want to find this in their lunch bag?
Grilled chicken, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries and a sweet poppy seed dressing all wrapped up in a tortilla with some butter lettuce. It has a little bit of everything– savory, sweet, and tart with a bit of crunch from the walnuts.
The recipe for the dressing is from my sister-in-law, Lisa, and is great for this wrap and to keep on hand for other wraps and salads. The recipe makes 2 cups total, which will go a long way– I only used a 1 and 1/2 tablespoons for my chicken wrap.
Lisa’s Poppyseed Dressing
Makes 2 cups
1/3 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
1 and 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Combine all the ingredients using a blender. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy it with salads and anything else that needs a salad dressing.
yes, I do want this in my lunch bag – delisious
This looks like a delicious wrap. I especially like the poppyseed dressing. It should work well with all the ingredients.
I’ve saved this. It looks like a terrific weeknight meal. I love to grab those rotisserie chickens at the store for these kinds of meals. Yum!
Fabulous photos. I’m so glad to have this poppyseed dressing. I don’t have a good recipe and really don’t like any of the bottled. Thanks for this post.
What a pretty wrap! I’ve been using cranberries more often lately, aren’t they SO good?
i love every one of those items – i love the way walnuts and cranberries go together…great wrap!
Very color and beautiful chicken wrap. I would like to have this on my lunch box.
Oh that wrap looks delicious!!!
I like the sweet hit of dried cranberries – a great idea to add that zip to a sandwich.
Thanks.
I love dried cranberries. Just a few go a long way!
I would like to find that in my lunch! Please send one asap!
This would also make a great salad! Love chicken with the sweetness of cranberries or grapes (even dried apricots)
