I love everything Mediterranean!  Including the Mediterranean 🙂  Twenty years ago, Mike and I built a Mediterranean-style house, because for me nothing says vacation like a tile roof and stucco. Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to visit Spain, France, Monaco and Italy. Four down, fifteen left on the list. Strolling through charming villages or at the edge of sun-kissed beaches, letting the sound of turquoise waves wash over me. I close my eyes and I’m there.

And then there’s the food: Pizza, all kinds of yummy cheeses, yogurts, olives, basil, tomatoes, avocados, hummus, cucumbers, tapas. And I can’t forget gelato. Ever.  

I like to use rotisserie chicken (because I’m lazy) or the contents of my restaurant doggie bag, or leftover meat from the night before (because I’m cheap).

I also love Boar’s Head deli meats. With only 1 net carb for a one-ounce serving, Rosemary and Sun-Dried Tomato Ham, or Maple Glazed Honey Coated Turkey Breast are both great choices. For .5 net carbs per one-ounce serving, Pesto Parmesan Oven Roasted Ham, Chipotle Oven Roasted Chicken Breast (nice and spicy) Prosciutto Di Parma, and Pastrami Seasoned Turkey Breast all taste fantastic. There are so many low-carb choices with these deli meats, just ask for a sample before deciding. 

I spread a tablespoon of softened cream cheese over one side of the wrap to keep it from getting soggy. Then I press in baby spinach leaves into the cream cheese.  Next comes the meat – 1 ounce is plenty – then layer on avocado slices, feta, tomatoes, olives and fresh basil.  Sprinkle on dried spices and vinaigrette, or a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar if you prefer.  Roll the wrap and you’re off!

Clearly, you’ll want to make your wrap with the ingredients you love. There are no limits to what you can wrap up, just make sure to check the net carb count in your favorites.
