Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, washed and dried
Filling
- 2 cups smoked salmon, flaked
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup croutons, crushed (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the lettuce: Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a flat surface, ensuring they are clean and completely dry to hold the fillings without becoming soggy.
- Mix the salmon filling: In a medium bowl, combine the flaked smoked salmon with 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing. Toss gently to coat the salmon evenly for rich flavor.
- Dress the leaves: Spread a small amount of Caesar dressing on each lettuce leaf; this adds extra flavor and helps bind the filling to the lettuce.
- Assemble wraps: Place a spoonful of the smoky salmon mixture onto each prepared lettuce leaf, distributing the salmon evenly among the wraps.
- Add toppings: Top each wrap with halved cherry tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, grated parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons if using, to add freshness and crunch.
- Garnish and serve: Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley over the wraps for a burst of color and herbaceous flavor. Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and vibrant tastes.
Notes
- Use freshly washed and thoroughly dried lettuce leaves to prevent sogginess.
- For a gluten-free option, omit the croutons or use gluten-free croutons.
- Adjust Caesar dressing quantity based on your taste preference.
- These wraps are best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the lettuce.
- Can be served as a light lunch, snack, or elegant appetizer.
