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

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.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

Chicken Salad Base

  • 1 1/2 lbs Shredded Chicken
  • 1 Cup Celery (sliced)
  • 2 Cups Seedless Red Grapes (halved)
  • 1 Cup Broccoli (chopped)
  • 1/2 Red Onion (diced)
  • 2 tbsp Parsley

High Protein Honey Mustard Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Poppyseeds

For Assembly

  • 6-8 Collard Greens
  • Thinly Sliced Red Onion
  • Microgreens or Arugula

Instructions

  • 1. Make the honey mustard dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, poppyseeds, and garlic powder until smooth and well blended.
  • 2. Prepare the chicken salad base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced celery, halved grapes, chopped broccoli, and diced red onion. Add the honey mustard dressing and mix gently to ensure even distribution.
  • 3. Prepare the collard greens (if using): Trim off the thick stem, then use a small knife to carefully shave it down so it's flat. This helps prevent the leaf from breaking and makes rolling easier.
  • 4. Assemble the wraps: Spoon a generous portion of the salad mixture onto a tortilla or collard wrap. Roll up the wrap, slice in half if desired, and serve — or pack for a protein-packed meal on the go.

Notes

Ingredient Notes:

Here’s a breakdown of the key ingredients you’ll need, along with tips and suggested substitutions to make this recipe work perfectly for you:
  • Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is the perfect solution for a quick weekday lunch or dinner. No cooking needed and available at nearly every local grocery store (although we agree that Costco rotisserie chickens are THE BEST).
  • Celery, Red Grapes, Red Onion & Broccoli: This combo of fruit and veggies add crunch and freshness; you can adjust the amount to taste.
  • High Protein Honey Mustard Dressing: our take on honey mustard adds a good amount of protein to this recipe while delivering a ton of flavor with a base of high protein greek yogurt

Customization Ideas:

  • Protein Options: Swap chicken for turkey or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian twist.
  • Scaling: Double the recipe for a larger gathering or for meal prep; just make sure adjust the dressing ingredients accordingly.
  • Meal Prep: Prepare the chicken salad mix in advance (without the wraps) and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The collard wraps can be made up to 3 days in advance but wraps made with tortillas are better made the same day or the night before.
  • Substitutes: If red grapes aren’t in season, try sliced honey crisp apples or even your favorite dried fruit like cranberries, tart cherries, raisins, or currants.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store any leftover chicken salad (with dressing mixed) in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The collard wraps can be made up to 2 days in advance but wraps made with tortillas are better made the same day or the night before.
