Ingredients

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
  • 4 oz. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups loosely packed arugula
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 4 store-bought or homemade lavash
  • 1/2 lb. sliced deli turkey, divided
  • 4 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips, divided (about 1 cup)
  • 4 Persian (or 2 English) cucumbers, cut lengthwise into quarters, divided

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the scallion, crumbled goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, and mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, gently toss the arugula, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil until evenly coated. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Lay out the lavash flat on a clean work surface. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over each piece, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to make wrapping easier.
  4. Step 4: Divide the sliced turkey, roasted red peppers, cucumbers, and the arugula salad evenly among the lavash wraps.
  5. Step 5: Fold one half of each lavash over the filling like a burrito, then roll tightly to enclose the ingredients. Tuck in the ends to seal the wrap securely.
  6. Step 6: Slice each wrap in half diagonally before serving to show off the colorful filling and make it easier to eat.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a drizzle of balsamic glaze before wrapping or swap arugula for baby spinach to soften the bite.
  • Use flavored lavash or flatbread like naan to change up the texture and taste.
  • Try adding sliced avocado or a handful of toasted nuts for extra creaminess and crunch.

Storage

Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To avoid sogginess, store the dressing mixture separately and assemble fresh before eating. Reheat the wraps in a warm skillet for a few minutes if you prefer them warm, but they’re also delicious served cold.

How to Serve

Each wrap has four visible layers: the outer wrap is light brown with a soft and slightly toasted texture, inside is a layer of folded light beige turkey slices, followed by white cottage cheese spread, topped with diced red bell pepper, cucumber slices with pale green flesh and dark green skin, and a generous layer of bright green leafy spinach mixed with herbs. In the background, there is a clear glass filled with ice and a pale yellow liquid. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Goat Cheese Spread

  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz. crumbled goat cheese
  • 4 oz. plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil

Wrap Fillings

  • 4 store-bought or homemade lavash flatbreads
  • 1/2 lb. sliced deli turkey, divided
  • 4 roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips (about 1 cup), divided
  • 4 Persian cucumbers (or 2 English cucumbers), cut lengthwise into quarters, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Goat Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced scallion, crumbled goat cheese, plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, and 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then mix until smooth and well blended.
  2. Make the Arugula Salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the loosely packed arugula, coarsely chopped fresh dill, fresh lemon juice, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix carefully to evenly coat the greens without bruising them.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each lavash flatbread on a clean work surface. Spread the prepared goat cheese mixture evenly over each piece of lavash, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to make rolling easier. Then distribute the sliced deli turkey, roasted red pepper strips, cucumber quarters, and the arugula salad evenly over the spread on each wrap.
  4. Wrap and Serve: Fold one half of each lavash over the fillings like a burrito. Roll tightly to enclose all ingredients securely. Tuck in the ends of the lavash to seal the wrap. For easier handling and presentation, cut each wrap in half before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use low-fat Greek yogurt and reduced-fat goat cheese.
  • Lavash wraps can be warmed slightly before assembling to make them more pliable.
  • Feel free to substitute arugula with baby spinach or mixed greens.
  • Homemade roasted red peppers add more depth of flavor if you have time to roast your own.
  • These wraps can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add cucumbers fresh before serving to maintain crunch.
