Ingredients

1 lavash wrap or Egglife Everything but the Bagel Wrap (or any protein tortilla of your choice!)
1 tbsp light cream cheese
2 tbsp fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese
1 Persian cucumber
2 oz smoked salmon (I love the Everything but the Bagel Salmon from Trader Joe’s, but you can use whatever's at your local grocery store)
Everything bagel seasoning
Dill pickle seasoning
1 tbsp sliced Kalamata olives (or 2-3 Kalamata olives, sliced)
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

Mix the Cheeses: In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese and cream cheese with the seasonings and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Cucumber: Peel and slice your cucumber thin and flat, so it fits perfectly into the wrap.
Warm the Wrap: If you’re using a lavash wrap, warm it slightly to make it more pliable. If you’re using an Egglife wrap, lay it out flat, no warming needed! Lay the wrap flat on a cutting board.
Assemble the Wrap: Smear the cream cheese mixture onto the wrap, then layer on the smoked salmon, thin slices of cucumber, and olives. Sprinkle with a bit more seasoning if you like.
Wrap & Enjoy: Fold or roll up your wrap, and you’re ready to dig in!
