Dinner

Mixed veggie salad wraps

This one is a quick one.
I chopped a few different vegetables into a bowl (tomato, capsicum, cucumber, garlic, spring onion, celery), grated some carrots, added a bit of avocado and wrapped the mixture in leaves of cos lettuce. Experiment with different vegetables, you can also add some raw nuts or seeds to the salad.
Quick and refreshing dinner!
