High Protein Greek Salad Omelet Wrap

Drescription

Would you rather have a salad or a wrap for dinner? Wait, why not both! This protein-packed meal features Greek salad tucked into an egg-white wrap. It also makes for a delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup crumbled or diced feta cheese (about 2 ounces)
½ english cucumber or 2 baby cucumbers, halved and thinly sliced
½ cup grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
¼ cup diced green bell pepper
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
4 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
6 egg whites
1 tablespoon blanched almond flour
1 teaspoon za'atar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Directions

To prepare salad: Whisk oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, pepper and salt together in a large bowl.
Add feta, cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion and olives to the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine.
To prepare wraps: Whisk egg whites, almond flour, za'atar and parsley together in a medium bowl until well combined.
Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat for 1 minute. Pour half of the egg-white mixture (about 1/2 cup) into the pan; swirl to coat the bottom fully. Cook, lifting the dry edges gently with a spatula so the liquid egg from the center flows to the sides, until the top is almost set, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the pan and continue cooking until the egg is completely set, about 1 minute more. Use a large flexible spatula to carefully transfer the omelet to a plate. Repeat to make a second omelet.
To assemble wraps: Spoon half the salad into the center of each omelet. Fold the bottom and sides to make a wrap. Use a 12-by-6-inch sheet of foil to wrap the bottom half of each wrap to hold it together. (Alternatively, fold the omelet in half over the filling.)

Piled-High Vegetable Pitas

Fresh, bright flavors come alive in these easy vegetarian pitas. Allow enough time to make the roasted vegetables, or make them a day or two in advance for a healthy meal that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. These pitas would also work well with whatever leftover cooked veggies you have on hand. No need to warm up the roasted veggies; this recipe tastes great chilled or at room temperature.

Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

The batter for this healthy one-bowl brownie recipe is stirred together right in the saucepan used to melt the butter and chocolate--no mixing bowl needed and less cleanup for you. Using shredded zucchini in this healthy dessert recipe creates a tender, moist brownie with about half the amount of butter and sugar found in a classic recipe--and it's virtually undetectable in the baked brownies.

Cherry and amaranth dessert casserole

I'm always trying to come up with new recipes and this one is an adaptation of a tyrolean dessert which can be done with other grains such as rice and with any type of fruit (roasted apples and raspberries are also a good combination). This specific one uses amaranth, an ancient grain with fresh seasonal cherries. Hope you like it.
