Beet Salad Lunch Wrap


Doesn't that look good? It's my favourite lunchtime wrap. And when I say favourite, you can fill in the blanks and figure out I eat this a lot. It is so darn tasty.

The beets are pickled, the tomatoes are sundried for that rich flavour, the peppers are sharp and crunchy as is the juicy cucumber. The salad leaves are the filler and the tortilla is spread with dairy free pesto before the toppings are pilled on. It's a flavour explosion in the mouth!

Generous filling


As you can see I fill it rather generously, so when it comes to wrapping it and eating it, I do have to be careful.

Does that make me add less the next time I make this scrummy wrap?

Hell no, I add just as much, if not more. I just have to have some kitchen paper to hand for any escapees.

Sometimes I add a few dollops of Violife cream cheese to the tortilla too and I have to say that is rather good too. My vegetarian readers might like it with some fresh mozzarella added. I warn you though, don't add vegan mozzarella, as that wouldn't be a thing of pleasure.

On the side


I was feeling generous today and served my wrap with a small bowl of crisps (chips to my American readers) and a glass of mango cordial. I don't usually stop long enough to add anything on the side. I am usually too eager to dive in.

Stock up on napkins


One warming.

If you're making this delicious wrap for your lunchbox, roll it in some kitchen paper before wrapping it tightly in tinfoil.

Otherwise some beetroot juice or oil from the sundried tomatoes or pesto can escape.

That kitchen paper is a necessity if you aren't eating this right away.

Mark my words!

uncooked beetroot

How I love thee beetroot

Let us count the ways!

  1. Raw and grated
  2. Pickled
  3. Tetra packed already cooked and ready to chomp
  4. Roasted
  5. On salads
  6. In wraps
  7. In sandwiches
  8. in couscous
  9. In a chocolate cake
  10. In a savoury tart

Or just straight out of the jar with a spoon!

Yup! I'm that refined and shan't tell you about climbing onto a kitchen unit as a child to reach the cupboard so I could eat French mustard out of the jar with a teaspoon. Nope, not telling you that story. Me, I have no bad habits. NONE! I am a lady!

    1. Yes me too. I get through a lot of fresh and pickled beetroot, although pickled baby beets are my favourite. Has to be Baxters though.

  10. I have to admit that I really don't like pickled beetroot at all but I love it boiled, steamed, roasted, grated raw... basically every way except pickled! I would totally have plain boiled beets in this wrap though, and I love that you've used pesto too, so fab. And I love the crunchy veg with salad leaves as well - this is definitely a keeper! xx
