One for the Table: Not your usual vegetarian wrap
When it comes to vegetarian sandwich wraps there's much more than just hummus, tomatoes and sprouts. With creamy eggplant, crisp asparagus and smoky mozzarella cheese, these healthy picnic wraps taste like warm, rolled-up pizzas but without all the fat and calories.
To reduce fat, I brushed the vegetables lightly with olive oil and broiled them and used soy mayo. I also used whole-wheat wraps instead of flour for added fiber and protein. I did not, however, skimp on the smoked mozzarella, because to me, it's the star of this wrap. Each bite is permeated with its creamy texture and smoky flavor. Use less if you must, but please don't skip it.
