Notes

  • Add protein such as sliced turkey, smoked salmon, or a fried egg for extra heartiness.
  • Use flavored cream cheese or hummus instead of olive oil for added flavor.
  • Swap cucumber for zucchini ribbons or add sprouts for a different crunch.
  • Add chili flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 1 day if storing; avoid adding wet ingredients until serving to prevent sogginess.
  • Not recommended for reheating.
