🛒 Ingredients

✓ 8 butter lettuce or romaine leaves (outer layer)
✓ 4 oz sliced Italian ham
✓ 3 oz sliced pepperoni
✓ 2 oz part-skim mozzarella, sliced thin
✓ 1 cup mixed bell peppers (red, yellow), julienned
✓ 1/2 cup roasted red peppers from jar, patted dry
✓ 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
✓ 1 cup fresh spinach
✓ 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
✓ 2 Tbsp grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
✓ 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
✓ 2 tsp red wine vinegar
✓ 1 tsp Dijon mustard
✓ 1/2 tsp garlic powder
✓ 1/4 tsp dried oregano
✓ Salt and black pepper to taste
✓ Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and oregano until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside for flavors to meld (5 minutes is ideal).

2. Dry Your Peppers: Pat the roasted red peppers dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid—this prevents the wraps from becoming soggy.

3. Assemble Your Base: Lay 4 butter lettuce leaves flat, overlapping slightly on a cutting board. This creates a sturdy base; use 2 leaves per wrap.

4. Spread the Aioli: Lightly spread 2 Tbsp of yogurt aioli across each leaf base, leaving a 1-inch border at the edges for secure rolling.

5. Layer the Cold Cuts: Arrange 2 oz ham and 1.5 oz pepperoni in overlapping layers across the aioli, building flavor and texture from the base outward.

6. Build the Veggie Stack: Top cold cuts with fresh spinach, julienned peppers, roasted red peppers, red onion, and fresh basil. Distribute evenly so each bite has all components.

7. Add the Cheese: Lay mozzarella slices across the vegetables, then sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano and remaining oregano on top for depth.

8. Roll with Confidence: Starting from the bottom, roll the lettuce tightly upward, tucking in the sides as you go. Use the overlapping leaves to create a secure seal. Wrap each roll in parchment paper to hold its shape.

9. Chill (Optional): Refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and the wrap to firm up—ideal for meal prep.

10. Serve & Enjoy: Unwrap, slice diagonally if desired, and serve with extra aioli on the side for dipping or drizzling.
