  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Quinoa

Cook quinoa according to package instructions and let it cool completely.

Tip: Fluff with a fork to keep it light and airy.


Step 2: Make the Tabbouleh

In a bowl, mix cooked quinoa with parsley, mint, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Tip: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to enhance the fresh, citrusy flavor.


Step 3: Prep the Vegetables

Slice cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and onions.

Tip: Thin slices make the wrap easier to roll and eat.


Step 4: Assemble the Wrap

Lay out a gluten-free wrap and spread a generous layer of hummus. Add tabbouleh, vegetables, and greens.

Tip: Don’t overfill—this helps prevent tearing.


Step 5: Roll and Serve

Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tip: Wrap in parchment paper for easy, mess-free eating on the go.
