# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It actually feels light but keeps you full for hours, thanks to all that fiber hiding in the cabbage and greens.
  • Everything comes together in 30 minutes, which makes it perfect for nights when you want something fresh but don't have time to fuss.
  • You can prep the salad ahead and assemble wraps in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
02 -
  • If you assemble these more than 30 minutes before eating, the wrap will get soggy from the dressing; make the salad ahead, but roll them just before serving.
  • Slicing the chicken against the grain gives you tender pieces that don't feel chewy, which makes the whole eating experience better.
03 -
  • Slice your chicken against the grain and let it rest after grilling—these two things make the difference between tender bites and chewy ones.
  • Don't chop your herbs until you're ready to use them; once they're cut, they start losing their brightness, so timing matters.
