Lavash Wraps Ingredients

ingredients laid out for lavash wraps- bowl of arugula, halved avocado, fresh dill bunch, smoked salmon, bowl of capers, bowl of diced red onion, boursin garlic herb cream cheese, turkish cucumbers, and lavash bread.
  • Lavash bread: Or sub extra-large tortillas or gluten-free wraps. They should be roughly 10 x 12 inches.
  • Whipped cream cheese: Or Try Boursin! Or chive cream cheese is a tasty substitute. Sub-vegan cream cheese if desired.
  • Baby greens: Choose your favorite lettuce! Arugula or baby spinach are great options.
  • Turkish cucumbers: Use a mandolin or vegetable peeler to slice them into thin ribbons.
  • Wild smoked salmon (lox): Feel free to sub another deli meat or even a plant-based “meat”!
  • Avocado: Adds a creamy component along with the cream cheese.
  • Capers: For deliciously tangy, briny flavor that pairs so well with smoked salmon.
  • Red onion: For a crunchy, punchy bite!
  • Fresh dill: To infuse the wraps with fresh, herby, summery flavor! Parsley is another great option.
  • Lemon zest: From half a lemon. For bright, citrusy taste!

How to Make Lavash Wraps

Step 1: Spread cream cheese onto lavash bread. Lay out the lavash bread. If it is stiff, gently warm it in the toaster oven (or oven) for a couple minutes to make it more pliable. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream cheese all the way to the edges of the flat surface.

Step 5: Roll the lavish bread. With the bare edge away from you, roll the wraps and place the seam side down on a cutting board.

Step 6: Slice. Cut into 1 – 1 1/2 inch slices and arrange on a serving platter.
