Ingredients
Mediterranean wrap filling:
- ⅓ cup shredded chicken

- 3 tablespoons chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ lemon, salt, and pepper to taste
- 1 Cup Spinach
Cucumber Salad:
- ½ cup chopped cucumber about a half cucumber

Instructions
Mediterranean Salad Filling:
- Measure shredded chicken, olives, chopped onions, and avocados all in the same bowl and mix
- Next drizzle the salad with the tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon (careful when you squeeze because that stuff gets everywhere)
- Once lemon and olive oil are fully incorporated add salt and pepper to taste.
- Take one cup loosely measured spinach and top with the mixed salad, serve cold
Cucumber salad
- 1)Slice cucumber and chop slices into quarters (you want them to be bite sized pieces)
- 2)add them to a mixing bowl with chopped onions
- 3)drizzle with olive oil and add lemon juice to taste and toss salad (in the bowl not out the window)
Notes
- To speed up the process and prep time buy cooked chicken or canned chicken and sliced olives
- If you plan on making this the night before do not add the avocado until the next day so it will stay fresh. The lemon juice will help the avocado to stay green.
