Description

Chicken Caesar Salad Lettuce Wraps with gluten-free croutons and Whole30 dressing—low-carb, crunchy, perfect for a quick lunch or meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, outer leaves whole

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced or shredded

  • 1/2 cup gluten-free croutons, slightly crushed

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Wax paper, for wrapping

For the Caesar dressing (Whole30-compliant):

  • 1/2 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon anchovy paste

  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all Caesar dressing ingredients until smooth. Set aside.

  • Carefully peel large outer iceberg lettuce leaves. Pat dry.

  • On a piece of wax paper, layer 2–3 overlapping lettuce leaves.

  • Add chicken, crushed croutons, Parmesan, and drizzle with dressing.

  • Fold lettuce sides in, roll tightly, and wrap with wax paper. Slice if desired.

 

  • Repeat and serve fresh.

Notes

  • Can substitute anchovy paste with Worcestershire sauce (if not Whole30).
  • Skip cheese and croutons for a fully paleo version.
  • Great for lunchboxes—wrap tightly in wax paper to hold shape.
