📋 Healthy Chicken Salad Wrap

I make these healthy chicken wraps when I have a boring boiled chicken I need to use. I serve it with a healthy salad mix, flavored with some grated Parmesan, and wrapped in these freshly homemade wraps: a bland boiled chicken turned into one of our favorite healthy dinners.

Notes

You can prepare the wraps' dough even hours before, but it is better to cover it with cling film so the surface doesn't harden
You can substitute the red cabbage with a regular cabbage or with Romain lettuce. I like the purple effect of the red cabbage
For a low-fat diet, you can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter seasoning
If you don't have a boiled chicken you can use grilled chicken or roasted chicken.
You can also use other leftover meat like beef, lamb or pork. Barbecue meat is very good served in those wraps
If you don't have time to make homemade wraps you can use store-bought ones
