Oh my gosh, you have to try this wrap salad! I stumbled upon this combo one sweltering summer afternoon when I was too hot to cook but desperately needed something fresh and filling. The crisp cucumber, tender chicken, and that creamy green goddess dressing? Absolute magic. It’s become my go-to for busy days when I want a healthy lunch that doesn’t taste like “diet food.”

What I love most is how the cool cucumber plays off the herby dressing – it’s like a flavor explosion in every bite. And the best part? You can throw it together in about 15 minutes flat. No oven, no fuss, just chop, mix, and roll. Trust me, once you taste this, you’ll be making it on repeat all season long.

Why You’ll Love This Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Let me tell you why this wrap salad is about to become your new obsession. First off, it’s crazy easy—no cooking required, just chop, mix, and roll. Perfect for those “I can’t even” days when you still want to eat something good.

But here’s what really makes it special:

  • Cool and crunchy: Those crisp cucumber slices give the perfect fresh bite against the creamy dressing
  • Protein-packed: With 25g of protein per wrap, it keeps you full for hours (bye bye, 3pm snack attacks!)
  • Bright herby flavor: The green goddess dressing with all those fresh herbs tastes like summer in every bite
  • Meal prep superstar: Wrapped up tight, these babies stay fresh in the fridge for quick grab-and-go lunches

Seriously—it’s the lunch you’ll actually look forward to eating instead of just powering through. And did I mention it takes literally 15 minutes? Magic.

Ingredients for Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Okay, let’s talk ingredients—because the magic happens when you use the right stuff! Here’s exactly what you’ll need to make these wraps sing:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I always grab a rotisserie chicken—total lifesaver!)
  • 1 large cucumber (~8 inches), thinly sliced (English cucumbers work great if you want fewer seeds)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat gives the creamiest texture, but low-fat works too)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (stems removed—trust me, it makes a difference)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade (roll the leaves and slice thin for pretty ribbons)
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, snipped (kitchen scissors make this a breeze)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder in a pinch)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (fresh squeezed—none of that bottled stuff!)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (the good kind you’d drizzle on salad)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (I’m generous with both—flavor is key!)
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas (about 10-inch size—they hold everything perfectly)

Pro tip: Prep all your herbs together—just pile ’em on the cutting board and chop away. The scent alone will make you hungry!

How to Make Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Alright, let’s get rolling—literally! This wrap salad comes together so fast you’ll barely have time to blink. But follow these steps carefully, and you’ll end up with the most delicious, Instagram-worthy lunch ever.

1. Whip up that dreamy green goddess dressing

Grab your biggest mixing bowl—this is where the magic starts. Toss in the Greek yogurt, all those gorgeous fresh herbs (parsley, basil, chives), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Now mix it like you mean it! You want everything fully combined into this luscious, herby green sauce. Taste it—does it need more lemon? More salt? Adjust until it makes your taste buds sing.

2. Bring in the chicken and cucumbers

Add your shredded chicken and those beautiful cucumber slices right into the bowl with the dressing. Here’s the key: fold everything together gently with a big spoon or your hands (clean hands, people!). You want every piece coated but not smashed—those cucumbers should stay crisp and refreshing.

3. Roll it up tight

Lay out your tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly between them—about 3/4 cup per wrap. Spread it down the center, leaving about 2 inches at the top and bottom. Now comes the fun part: fold the sides in first, then roll from the bottom up, keeping it snug as you go. Think burrito technique! If you’re packing these for later, wrap each one tightly in parchment paper and twist the ends like a candy wrapper.

4. Slice and serve (or stash!)

For pretty presentation, slice each wrap in half diagonally—that green goddess dressing peeking out looks gorgeous. These are best eaten within a few hours, but they’ll keep in the fridge for up to a day (any longer and the tortillas get soggy—trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way!).

See? Told you it was easy. Now go enjoy your masterpiece!

Tips for the Best Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Listen, I’ve made this wrap salad approximately 87 times (okay, maybe 20… but still!), and I’ve learned a few tricks to make it absolutely foolproof. First, rotisserie chicken is your best friend here—it’s juicy, flavorful, and saves you so much time. Just shred it while it’s still warm—it absorbs the dressing better!

Here are my can’t-miss tips:

  • Wrap like a pro: Use parchment paper to roll these up tight—no leaks, no mess, just perfect grab-and-go lunches
  • Creaminess boost: Add avocado slices before rolling for extra richness (just don’t add it to the dressing or it’ll brown)
  • Herb hack: Chop all your herbs at once in a food processor if you’re short on time—still delicious!
  • Crisp factor: Pat your cucumber slices dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess

Oh! And if you’re making these ahead? Store them seam-side down in the fridge—they’ll stay together better. You’re welcome!

Variations for Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Oh, the possibilities! This wrap salad is like a blank canvas—here’s how I love to mix it up when I’m feeling creative (or just cleaning out the fridge). For a veggie twist, swap the chicken for mashed chickpeas—they give that same hearty texture with extra fiber. Sometimes I’ll throw in shredded carrots or thinly sliced radishes for extra crunch and color.

And the tortillas? Spinach or sun-dried tomato wraps make it look fancy with zero extra work. My sister even uses collard greens as wraps when she’s going low-carb—genius, right? The green goddess dressing works with just about anything, so don’t be afraid to play around!

Serving and Storing Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Here’s the scoop on keeping these wraps perfect until you’re ready to devour them! I love serving these chilled—they’re extra refreshing that way. If you’re packing them for lunch, wrap each one tightly in parchment paper (like a little burrito present!) and tuck them into your lunchbox. They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for about a day—any longer and the tortillas start getting sad and soggy. Pro tip: Keep any extra dressing on the side if you’re really worried about sogginess!

Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad Nutrition

Now let’s talk nutrition—because this wrap salad is as good for you as it is delicious! Each serving packs about 320 calories with a whopping 25g of protein to keep you full. But here’s my disclaimer: these numbers can vary based on your specific ingredients (especially if you go wild with the avocado like I sometimes do!). The Greek yogurt gives you probiotics while keeping fat reasonable, and those whole wheat tortillas deliver 4g of fiber per wrap. Just remember—nutrition labels differ between brands, so consider this your friendly estimate, not a lab-certified analysis!

FAQs About Green Goddess and Cucumber-Chicken Wrap Salad

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just wrap them tightly in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 1 day—any longer and the tortillas get soggy. The green goddess dressing actually tastes better after chilling for a bit! If you’re meal prepping, I suggest keeping the dressing separate until you’re ready to assemble.

Can I substitute the Greek yogurt?
You bet! Sour cream works in a pinch, though it’ll be tangier. For a dairy-free version, try coconut yogurt—just add extra herbs to balance the sweetness. But honestly? The Greek yogurt gives that perfect creamy texture while keeping it light, so I’d stick with it if you can!

How do I prevent soggy wraps?
Oh honey, I’ve learned this the hard way! First, pat those cucumber slices dry with a paper towel before mixing. Second, don’t overdo the dressing—just enough to coat everything. And third, if you’re packing these for later, wrap them in parchment paper instead of plastic wrap—it lets the tortillas breathe a bit. Works like a charm!
