There’s not much more to say other than these little wraps have gotten me through Sunday’s dinner… Monday’s dinner… and if soggy lettuce didn’t gross me out so much I’d be all over these again tonight! That’s how much I love this caesar dressing. It’s low cal “26 calories per tablespoon”, dairy free, and ridiculously easy. Thank you Cooking Light!

- Stay Fresh :if making ahead, store chicken and greens separately; assemble just before serving so wraps don’t get soggy.
