Chicken-Cucumber Salad Wrap in Lettuce Leaves
Fresh chicken salad with cucumber and yoghurt dressing, served in crispy lettuce leaves, ideal for Phase 1.
The chicken-cucumber salad wrap in lettuce leaves is fresh, crisp and delightfully light. Tender chunks of chicken fillet and cool cucumber cubes are brought together in a creamy yoghurt dressing with a hint of mustard. Rolled in crunchy lettuce leaves, you get a lunch that is flavourful without being heavy.
Why this recipe fits Phase 1: this phase calls for plenty of protein and few carbohydrates, and with thirty-four grams of protein per portion, the chicken fillet provides the perfect base for that. By replacing bread with lettuce leaves, carbohydrates stay minimal, whilst the protein provides lasting satiety. That makes this a decidedly high-protein lunch that belongs fully within the protein diet.
Lovely with a squeeze of lemon over the filling or a pinch of fresh dill through the dressing. For extra bite, you can add a few thin strips of red pepper.
