"CHICKEN AND SPINACH WRAP"

It's Monday, and this is a day for leftovers. We have some rotisserie chicken pieces here, so I thought of making a quick fix for lunch - what's easier than a chicken wrap!

I tried different kinds of chicken wraps in the past, the initial one of course was the Chicken Ceasar - just had to try making it, since I see that a lot in sandwhich places here... it's usually in the "healthier choices" menu.

Deceiving, because caesar dressing is loaded with calories - and some articles even consider it the worst choice of dressing on your salads. Huh!

Well, it's still my favorite. I just try to make my own caesar dressing whenever I want to have it.

Well, for this chicken wrap I made for lunch, I used Trader Joe's brand Raspberry Dressing - low-fat/low-sodium. It tastes so good, just enough sweetness and tangy flavor in it. You know we do not just use it for salads, but I likewise use it as a marinade mix of meat and salmon.

The cheese that I used for this wrap is grated parmesan...I try to buy by the block, and I grate it into smaller pieces, because it tastes better than the ones you buy in a container. I like parmesan because a small amount of this cheese goes a long way - really tasty!

By the way, this chicken wrap goes well with some crunchy chips on the side, but instead of regular potato chips, I serve it with some sesame crisps (again from Trader Joes).

Enjoy!
