Recipe Q&A

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead?

Yes, rotisserie chicken can be a convenient substitute and works well with the fresh vegetables and dressing.

What dressing ingredients give the tangy flavor?

The combination of Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and poppy seeds creates the dressing's light, tangy profile.

Are there tips for warming the wraps without drying?

Warm wraps briefly in a pan or microwave covered with a damp paper towel to keep them soft and pliable.

Which fresh herbs best complement the flavors?

Parsley, dill, or basil add a refreshing herbal note that balances the creamy and tangy elements.

Can this be adapted for a dairy-free diet?

Replace Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free mayonnaise for a dairy-free version.
