Step-by-Step Preparation Method (Detailed)

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

• Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
• Slice cucumbers into thin sticks.
• Halve cherry tomatoes.
• Slice bell peppers and red onions thinly.

Step 2: Prepare Your Wrap Base

• Place your tortilla or wrap on a clean, flat surface.

• Leave a small border around the edge.

Step 4: Add Your Fresh Ingredients

• Start with a base of leafy greens.
• Add cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, olives, and feta.
• Keep ingredients centered to make rolling easier.

Step 5: Add Flavors

• Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil if desired.

• Sprinkle salt, pepper, and chopped herbs.

Step 6: Roll the Wrap Tightly

Recipe Tips

• Warm the tortilla slightly to prevent tearing.
