Why This Recipe Works

Often the only vegetarian sandwich option at a deli is a disappointing veggie wrap with bleak lettuce and tomatoes, and bland hummus. We wanted to reinvent this simple sandwich with plenty of fresh veggies and balanced flavors. We started by tossing peppery sliced radishes and sweet shredded carrots with a simple lemon and parsley dressing. For the bread, we mixed things up by swapping out the usual tortilla for lavash, a soft, thin flatbread commonly used throughout the Middle East. We spread a hefty amount of creamy hummus on each wrap, then added the carrots and radishes. Topped with juicy tomatoes, buttery sliced avocados, and crunchy alfalfa sprouts, this sandwich makes a perfect light, healthy lunch.

Instructions

  1. Whisk parsley, lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper together in bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until emulsified. Add carrots and radishes and toss to coat.
  2. Lay lavash on counter and spread ⅓ cup hummus over each piece. Divide tomatoes, avocados, alfalfa sprouts, and carrot mixture evenly among lavash. Fold sides of lavash over filling, fold bottom of lavash over sides and filling, and roll tightly into wrap. Slice in half and serve.
