Ingredients
- 1 cup dried lentils or 2 cups cooked lentils
- 2 large beets, roasted and sliced
- 4 whole wheat or spinach wraps
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh herbs: parsley, mint, and dill
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation Steps
Start by cooking the lentils according to package instructions until tender. Drain and set aside to cool. Meanwhile, roast the beets in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes or until soft. Once cooled, peel and slice the beets thinly.
In a small bowl, mix the cooked lentils with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a simple lentil salad. Chop the fresh herbs finely and set aside.
Lay out the wraps and evenly distribute the lentil mixture across each. Top with roasted beet slices, crumbled feta, and a generous sprinkle of chopped herbs. Roll up the wraps tightly to secure the fillings.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the wraps in half diagonally for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately with a side salad or a light yogurt dressing. These wraps are also great for packed lunches or picnics.
