You Will Need…

Collard Green or Swiss Chard: Both Collard Green and Swiss Chard have a bit of bitterness and a great earthy flavor. I am blanching the large leaves to avoid breaking; it also helps roll the wrap without any tearing in the leaves.
Carrots: Carrots have subtle sweetness with earthy flavor. The crunchy texture of the carrot is so satisfying, and the color makes the wrap vibrant.
Red pepper: This crunchy pepper has a sweet and mild flavor. It is a little bit earthy, too, which goes well with the freshness of the other ingredients.
Cucumber: Cucumber adds an element of crunch and freshness to the wrap.
Avocado: Avocado is the creamy element in the wrap. It might have a subtle flavor, but it doesn’t make the wrap feel dry at all.
Hummus: Hummus is made of chickpeas, tahini, and olive oil. It is super creamy and has a tangy flavor that balances out the texture and taste of the wrap.

Customization and Serving Ideas

The rainbow wrap is simple and easy to make, and there is still room for creativity. Here are a few customization and serving ideas that you can try:

Add nuts: It will add an element of crunch and make the wrap more delicious.
Add fruit of choice: A fruit like strawberries will cut through the earthiness of the wrap and give an element of sweet surprise.
Add herbs: A little bit of herbs like oregano or leafy herbs can go a long way in wrap.
Season with seasoning of choice: You can sprinkle some black pepper before wrapping or maybe salt if you like. It is the perfect season with hummus, but if you add more veggies, you should consider seasoning the wrap.
Add salsa: you can make your salsa and add that as well. It gives an amazing kick and vibrant flavor to the wrap. Or serve it on the side.
Make your wrap: Set up a table with ingredients and let your friends and family make their wraps with their favorite ingredients.
