Chef Salad Lettuce Wrap

May 12, 2017 by Katie

Mix up lunch time by turning the classic chef salad into a refreshing lettuce wrap!

Chef Salad Lettuce Wrap

I think we can all agree that foods get really boring after awhile, which often leads to junk food becoming an easy solution. About once per week, I find myself asking Matt, “What do people eat?” as I go from fridge to pantry back to the fridge, not finding anything that sounds appetizing.

When I get in this rut of not wanting anything healthy that we’ve stocked the kitchen with, I try to reinvent favorites. It’s pretty crazy how simply changing the way a food is presented can make it seem exciting again. That’s exactly what today’s recipe is all aboutโ€”turning the classic, refreshing chef salad into a handheld wrap.

Chef Salad in a Lettuce Wrap

I love Caesar salad wraps like it’s no one’s business, so I figured I’d keep going down the line of salad varieties. Chef salads are one of my favorites because they have a little bit of everything. My family makes fun of my sister and me because we can’t just eat one thingโ€”we’re NEED variety. That is why chef salads are my jam.

Instead of putting the salad in a tortilla/wrap, I decided to kind of…turn the salad inside out and make it a lettuce wrap. It’s ridiculously simple but is packed with the delicious, fresh ingredients we all know and love.

This was also the perfect way to utilize a recent shipment I had received of Jennie-O Premium Portions Oven Roasted Turkey Breast. (It works beautifully as a thick-cut lunchmeat type of deal. And oh lawd, the flavors have completely transformed lunchtime for both Matt and me.) Disclaimer: I was sent the Jennie-O turkey breast product for free as part of a collaboration with the company. All opinions shared in this post are my own.

Here’s a close-up of the chef salad-themed lettuce wrap:
