Ingredients
Scale
Spread
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
- 4 oz. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
- 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Salad
- 4 cups loosely packed arugula
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- Remaining 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Wrap Filling
- 4 store-bought or homemade lavash breads
- 1/2 lb. sliced deli turkey, divided
- 4 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips (about 1 cup), divided
- 4 Persian cucumbers or 2 English cucumbers, cut lengthwise into quarters, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the goat cheese spread: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced scallion, crumbled goat cheese, plain Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season this mixture well with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring the flavors meld together for a tangy and rich spread.
- Make the arugula salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the loosely packed arugula, coarsely chopped fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired. This salad will add a fresh, herbal crunch to the wraps.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the lavash bread on a clean work surface. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over each piece, leaving a 1-inch border all around to prevent overflow when wrapping. Evenly distribute the sliced deli turkey, roasted red pepper strips, cucumber quarters, and a portion of the arugula salad on top of the spread.
- Wrap and serve: Carefully pull one half of the lavash up and over the filling in a burrito-style fold. Roll tightly to enclose all ingredients, tucking in the ends to seal the wrap securely. Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for packing.
Notes
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with sour cream or mayonnaise for a different flavor and texture.
- Lavash can be replaced with large flour tortillas if lavash is unavailable.
- Try adding other fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the arugula salad for additional flavor.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, omit the turkey and add grilled vegetables or more roasted red peppers.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
