Ingredients
- 1/3 English cucumber
- 1 sheet lavash bread
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 2 or 3 slices turkey
- 4 fresh spinach leaves
Preparation
- 1 Before you start, be sure an adult is nearby to help.
- 2 Put the cucumber on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut off the ends. Slice the cucumber into rounds as thin as possible.
- 3 Spread the bread
- 4 Put the lavash bread on the cutting board. Using the sharp knife, trim the edges to make a neat, 8-inch square.
- 5 Using a butter knife, spread the cream cheese over the lavash, leaving a 1-inch-wide border uncovered around the edges.
- 6 Layer the fillings
- 7 Layer the sliced cucumber on top of the cream cheese. Top the cucumber with a layer of the basil leaves. Continue the layering, first with the turkey and then with the spinach leaves.
- 8 Roll the wrap
- 9 Starting from the edge closest to you, roll up the lavash into a tube. Using the sharp knife, cut the roll in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately.
