Kraft Kitchens Tips

Try Wrapped Salad

A quick way to enjoy your favorite salad on-the-go is to wrap it in a flour tortilla. Simply spoon salad onto tortilla and roll up! Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. This is also a great way to use leftover salad.

Variation

Prepare as directed, using 1/2 cup KRAFT Fat Free Thousand Island Dressing and 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper instead of the ranch dressing and hot pepper sauce. Also, omit the shredded cheese and increase the red onions to 1/2 cup.

This recipe was so easy and so tasty, my 5 year old even loved it. I did add more vegetables such as cucumbers, cauliflower and grape tomatos. I will certainly make this again and again

I used low fat thousand island dressing and 2% milkfat Mexican Kraft Cheese. Served with homemade salsa/black bean bread. Great meal. My husband loved it.

I added some left over cooked chicken, cut into strips and served it in a wrap. Absolutely wonderful, and a full meal in itself. I think left over strips of steak would be good too.

Instead of hot sauce, I combined equal amounts of ranch dressing and salsa. Also before serving, add tortilla chips. I like to serve this salad with chicken enchiladas.

For an alternative, try using taco sauce in place of the ranch dressing and hot sauce and add broken tortilla chips.
