Chicken Caesar Wrap With Avocado Kefir Dressing
If you’re looking for a quick but healthy lunch option, may we suggest this delicious chicken wrap with a tangy avocado kefir Caesar dressing?
The recipe was created by Nutritious Life’s very own Keri Glassman, MS, RD, CDN, who found inspiration from our Avocado Kefir Caesar dressing recipe. It was so inspiring that it was also recently featured on The Good Dish, a food-centric daytime TV show hosted by Daphne Oz, Gail Simmons and Jamika Pessoa.
We’re fairly certain you’ll love it as much as they did. So fire up the grill, throw on some chicken breasts and kick up your lunch game today.
