Instructions:
Caesar Cottage Cheese Dressing

Herby Breadcrumbs
- Heat up the olive oil in a medium sauce pan.
- Once warm, add the breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning in the oil and toast until golden.
- Cut the heat and set the breadcrumbs aside.
Assembly
- Into a large bowl, add the finely chopped lettuce.
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and toss into the bowl.
- Add the ¾ of the herby breadcrumbs and ¾ of the dressing into the bowl and give everything a good mix until everything is well coated. Reserve the remaining breadcrumbs/dressing for assembly.
- To assemble the wrap, add the mixed salad filling in the center of each tortilla. Top with the remaining breadcrumbs and a drizzle of dressing.
- Roll up the wrap, slice in half and enjoy! Serve with remaining dressing for dipping!
