Cucumber Chicken Salad Wraps

Cucumber Chicken Salad Wraps offer a refreshing, healthy, and low-carb alternative to traditional wraps. Packed with protein from chicken and fresh crunch from cucumbers, these wraps are perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The creamy, tangy chicken salad is perfectly complemented by the crisp cucumber “wraps,” making it a satisfying meal that’s both nutritious and delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise)
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large cucumber (sliced into long strips)
• Fresh herbs or lettuce leaves (optional, for extra crunch)

Step-by-Step Preparation

Prepare the Chicken Salad
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

Add the Veggies
Stir in the chopped celery, red onion, and fresh parsley into the chicken salad mixture. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Wraps
Slice the cucumber into thin, long strips using a mandoline or knife. Lay a cucumber strip flat, then spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the center. If using, add fresh herbs or lettuce for extra crunch.

Roll and Serve
Carefully roll the cucumber strip around the chicken salad mixture to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining cucumber slices and chicken salad.

Serve Immediately
These wraps are best enjoyed immediately, but they can be stored in the fridge for up to a day if needed. Serve with extra lemon wedges or fresh herbs for garnish.

Tips for Perfect Cucumber Chicken Salad Wraps

• Chicken Options: Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Customization: Add diced apples, grapes, or nuts (like walnuts) to the chicken salad for a sweet or crunchy twist.
• Cucumber Prep: If you want softer wraps, lightly salt the cucumber slices and let them rest for 10 minutes, then pat dry to remove excess moisture.
