Ingredients Breakdown: What’s In These Wraps?
We’re not just throwing random things in a bowl and calling it a salad—each ingredient plays a role in making this the ultimate healthy wrap. The shredded chicken brings the protein, the celery and red onion add that necessary crunch, the grapes add a pop of juicy sweetness, and the high-protein honey mustard dressing ties it all together with a tangy, slightly sweet kick. The best part? You can mix it up with different wrap options and extra toppings to fit your taste and dietary needs.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Chicken Salad:
- 1 ½ lbs shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 cup celery, sliced
- 2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
- 1 cup broccoli, chopped
- ½ red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley, minced
For the High-Protein Honey Mustard Dressing:
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poppyseeds
To Assemble:
- 6-8 Collard greens or large tortillas (we love Siete tortillas)
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Microgreens or arugula
How to Make It
1. Whisk Up the Dressing:
- In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and poppyseeds. Mix until smooth.
2. Prep the Chicken Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, celery, grapes, broccoli, red onion, and parsley. Pour the honey mustard dressing over the top and mix until well combined.
3. Prepare Your Wraps:
- If using collard greens, trim the thick stem and shave it down so the leaf folds easily without breaking.
4. Assemble and Enjoy:
- Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad into your wrap of choice. Roll it up tightly, slice if desired, and serve!
Tips & Customization Ideas
🥑 Switch Up the Protein: Swap the chicken for turkey or a plant-based alternative.
🍏 Seasonal Swaps: If grapes aren’t available, try diced apples or dried fruit like cranberries.
🥒 Add More Crunch: Toss in some chopped almonds or sunflower seeds.
🧄 Make it Zesty: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a little kick.
🥚Make it Egg-Free: Use a dairy-free yogurt alternative for the dressing.
How to Store & Make These Last
- Store the chicken salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Collard wraps hold up for 2 days, but tortillas should be assembled fresh for the best texture.
- Meal Prep Tip: Prep all ingredients separately and assemble fresh for the best taste.

Foolproof Tips for a Perfect Wrap Every Time
Let’s be real—nobody wants a wrap that falls apart mid-bite. So, let’s make sure yours stay intact and delicious. First, don’t overstuff it! It’s tempting to pack in all the goodness, but too much filling leads to a wrap explosion (and nobody has time for that mess).
- 🌱 Collard greens pro tip: Blanch them in hot water for 10 seconds to soften them up—this makes rolling way easier and prevents rips. If you’re team tortilla, warm it up slightly so it bends without cracking.
- 💪 Want more protein? Toss in a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of hemp seeds for an extra boost.
- 🥒 Craving more crunch? Sunflower seeds or slivered almonds will do the trick!
- 💦 Dressing too thick? A splash of water or lemon juice will loosen it up perfectly.
- 🍯 Too sweet for your taste? Just add more Dijon mustard for a bolder, tangy punch.
Stick to these foolproof tips, and you’ll have wraps that roll like a dream and taste even better!
Troubleshooting: Fixing Common Issues
Wrap falling apart? You’re probably overstuffing it! Reduce the filling or use two collard leaves for extra support.
Dressing too thick? Add a splash of water or lemon juice to thin it out.
Too sweet? Increase the Dijon mustard for more tang.

- 5. Add the Green Beans & Finish Roasting: Remove the pan from the oven and add the trimmed green beans. Toss them lightly in the pan juices.
